Chapter Five Hundred and Forty-Six Posts Moving Forward (Part 2)
When you get closer, you can see that the huge "mechanical insect" in front of you is almost filling the pipeline tunnel. Under its "slender limbs", there are hundreds of "larvae" squirming and rising, and some are even...
It floats up and climbs to the upper areas of the "joints", shifting one by one and flowing endlessly.
"Uh-oh!"
Liang Lu instantly exposed some small details that were inconsistent with the identity of the "passer", but no one cared about it at the moment. The special maintenance vehicle continued to move forward, getting closer, and occasionally lighted up between the "larvae" and "arthropods"
The electric fire started, allowing the two to see more details.
There are six "joint limbs" with "protrusions" on them. Each "protrusion" is a special work station that can accommodate one or two people. In total, there are about a hundred of them, but at this time there are less than ten
One percent is in working condition.
The so-called "larvae" are actually various self-propelled maintenance robots. If they are damaged or need to be replaced with mounting tools, they are transferred under the command. Between the limbs of this "mechanical insect",
The hypogastric shunt is automatically shunted to complete the tasks of repair and replacement.
"Tsk tsk, the 'Soil Ranger' medium-sized mobile maintenance station. I didn't expect that such a big thing for field operations would be used."
Ronan looked at the so-called "repair station" up and down. Not counting the "joints", its main part was about 20 meters long. Its shell-shaped body was at least 8 meters wide at its widest point, and its height could reach about 6 meters. If you include
The image of the "joint limbs" standing upright makes it even more spacious.
"It looks bulky, but the structure can actually be reduced. When necessary, you can use the 'space point penetration' technology to twist the rock formations and run very fast underground..."
Ronan couldn't help but say "Wow", he was quite fascinated.
The only pity is that when this special equipment appeared for the first time, it didn't look particularly calm. In fact, there were too many "larvae" in its abdomen.
There are hundreds or even thousands of machines and equipment to be repaired, and it would be fine if all 100 workstations were opened. However, there are less than ten workstations in total on the six "joints", so it is inevitable that some of them cannot be processed, so that the jamming stops.
, the entire repair team has become quite bloated.
"How much work has been accumulated here... It's no wonder that we are here to support you." Liang Lu looked at the scene carefully, feeling a little frightened in his heart, but he had to put on a calm face in front of Ronan, "That's okay.
It’s good. Compared with the assembly line, this kind of position is more training.”
While talking, the special maintenance vehicle had already approached the rear area of the "Soil Patroller". After the signal link was completed, a hole was automatically opened in that area for maintenance vehicles to enter and exit.
However, the "Soil Patroller" is now completely clogged with machinery to be repaired, and its flow direction is also regulated. In order to avoid disturbing the already overly bloated queue, Ronan, as the driver, is assisting Zhi Nao.
Following the suggestion, the car was switched to maglev mode. The car body was suspended in the air, passing over the "larvae" on the ground, and "gliding" towards the entrance hole.
Liang Lu was still working hard to fulfill his duties as a commander, stimulating Ronan's desire to win: "We can have a maintenance competition, and whoever loses will go to Zhan Xiao to get that out-of-print... ugh!"
The "boom" explosion suddenly struck.
In fact, what the two of them first felt was the shock wave that directly compressed and distorted the air, running over from the side and the front. It was so difficult to tell whether the subsequent explosion was a simple stimulation received by the eardrums, or whether it was caused by the head-on explosion.
A cruel blow
Afterwards, the shaking brain gave a protest signal.
Liang Lu was really completely unprepared. His mind was confused and the world was spinning. If it weren't for the automatic tightening effect of the flexible safety belt, the roofless maintenance truck would have thrown him more than ten meters away.
Not to mention him, even the maintenance vehicle weighing more than two tons, under this impact without any warning, the formed magnetic track restraint between it and the "Soil Patroller" was forcibly broken, and the vehicle body was damaged.
It was obviously deflected, and under the influence of intermittent magnetic force, it was like a heavy fallen leaf, swinging in the air, and smashing diagonally towards the unknown thick external armor layer at the edge of the entrance.
After all, Liang Lu had been trained in "sudden impact". It only took about two thousandths or three breaths of time to wake up under the dual warnings of himself and the two auxiliary brains of the special maintenance vehicle. He was too late.
Give Ronan a warning and directly use the authority of the commander to take back control of the maintenance vehicle and perform manual emergency evasion.
But he couldn't get it back!
"...The judgment is passed, the magnetic track calibration is completed, and the collision is prepared."
"Nima!"
Liang Lu couldn't help but screamed, and when he cursed, the last chance to adjust had been missed. The flexible seat belt had firmly tied him to the seat, and the special maintenance vehicle he was riding in became
It became a card that was thrown out diagonally, spinning, grazing the metal edges on the edge of the entrance, and "smashed" it in with a roar.
First there was an obvious impact sound, as if it had been hitched somewhere, and the entire car body was turned sideways and backwards. Before it could completely turn over, the strong magnetic rail restraints came together again, taking the car body with it for a surf.
A typical roll back to normal.
Next, Liang Lu saw and felt that the special maintenance vehicle that crashed into the magnetic restraint circle was like a crazy beast drugged with a gun. It rushed forward in the not so spacious entrance corridor and hit the left side of the tunnel.
The wall hit the right wall, the ceiling hit the floor, and after seven or eight consecutive hits that could push out gastric juice and spin out brain matter, the force of inertia was finally digested and it came to a swaying halt.
"Boom!"
There was another loud bang in his ears, and the vehicle and body jumped again. Liang Lu subconsciously made a curled-up anti-collision posture, and then he woke up:
This time it's the entire Soil Ranger that's shaking.
The second sonic blast shock is really the same as the previous shock wave that almost caused a car accident. It's just that they have now entered the belly of the "Soil Patroller" and have an extra layer of filtering and buffering, making it less uncomfortable.
This is... the fantasy species servant army outside has begun to attack again. It's a good time!
Liang Lu finally came to his senses and turned around to look: "Luonan, are you okay?"
Ronan was also tightly tied to the seat, but his hands were still supported on the sensing area of the driver's seat, and his arms were a little stiff. Liang Lu was worried that his protective posture was not in place and his bones were broken by the rolling collision just now.
"It's okay." Ronan's voice was still stable, and he moved his hands away from the sensing area. At the same time, the flexible seat belts of both people automatically loosened and returned to freedom.
Liang Lu let out a long sigh, and his scalp felt tight again. In the situation just now, if he really had to hit him, it would probably not be fatal, but he would be injured and would have to go to a field hospital. If it was the first time for the two of them to perform a new mission
, this is the result, before this battle is over, there is no way to show your face to others.
Thinking of this, Liang Lu remembered another thing, and without saying a word, he called up the operation records of the special maintenance vehicle. Although
There was no danger, but he just couldn't figure out why he didn't get the control authority back when he used his authority.
"The last operation... Ronan?"
"Um, sir?" Ronan responded.
Liang Lu looked at the confused expression of the only soldier under his command, and his own mind became even more confused: "What are you doing?"
The one he saw... no, that set of records showed that at the moment when the special maintenance vehicle decoupled from the restraining magnetic track, it was Ronan who switched to manual mode in time and completed many tasks in six thousandths of a breath.
It took 22 operations to forcibly complete the manual docking and trajectory adjustment of the vehicle and the magnetic track...
It is this series of operations that help the brain complete the most critical situational condition determination and get everything back on track.
In the second half of this period, Liang Lu reacted and tried to take over the authority, but by then the brain had already judged the correctness of the previous set of operations and gave Ronan's operations more weight. This made Liang Lu's control
Invalidation.
Basically, there is nothing wrong with the logic inside.
But how did Ronan input and execute the 22 operating instructions in the blink of an eye? How fast must the speed of consciousness be at that moment?
Have the operation records been drawn?
When Ronan saw the record, he was a little confused: "I didn't do so much..."
As soon as it started, someone took over: "What operation? To put it nicely, it is an extreme operation, but to put it bluntly, it is just a marginal operation, an illegal operation that is not even close!"
The person who answered Liang Lu's doubts was a hoarse voice that suddenly appeared, sounding a little weak.
The two people in the car looked around and saw that this was the end of the corridor, which was just a parking area. Two similar maintenance vehicles were parked there, as well as other transportation equipment... but no one was seen.
Liang Lu and Luo Nan did not dare to delay, so they jumped down from both sides of the car, stood upright, and signed up loudly: "Second Class Sergeant Liang Lu (Private Luo Nan) has been ordered to come and report."
Still with the same hoarse voice, he weakly said: "You see, I am your direct lieutenant Gouye... If you have time to talk nonsense, come here and give your commander a hand!"
"Huh?" The two looked at each other again, but Ronan reacted faster. He turned his gaze and saw an uncoordinated shadow between the two parked maintenance vehicles.
After confirming the suspected range, and then focusing on the analysis, the two people said "Oops" and ran forward together, trying to help the person sandwiched between the two cars...
But as soon as it touched the edge, Ronan was stunned again.
Lieutenant Gouye's current situation is really not suitable for multiple people to exert force. Because this person's hands, feet, and limbs were severed from the shoulders and hips, and he has no prosthetic limbs. He is completely disabled and cannot take care of himself.
Liang Lu, on the other hand, recognized this person, called him "Gou Weiguan" again, and carefully "lifted" him up and placed him on the edge of the car on one side.
"Have you never seen a disabled person? Do you know that this disabled person just helped you?"
Lieutenant Gouye had obviously become accustomed to Ronan's current gaze, with a meaningless look on his face, still acting like an officer: "If I hadn't been here, risking my only leg to adjust the orientation of the magnetic track, you,
Private Ronan, you need at least 50 more instantaneous operations... That is a complete violation of mental interference, and I can kick you back to the second hive immediately!"
