As a demonstration, Lin Xi threw the body of a strange beast into the processor. The processor immediately roared and began to rotate continuously, and then several different discharge ports began to spit out different materials. Flesh, bones, teeth, and viscera were divided into categories.
It occupies one area and is well organized, and the whole process takes less than a minute.
The Lancers are all familiar with material processing. Someone has already come here to pick up various raw materials and send them to the base for further processing.
At present, the research and utilization of exotic animals have reached a very high level, with a utilization rate of over 90%, and there are very few unusable waste materials.
Chu Jungui had long been accustomed to it, but Mei Mei stared at the alien beast processor, looking left and right, and finally said: "Have you always come here like this?"
"Of course. Otherwise, where would the materials and ammunition come from?" Lin Xi said as he threw the new beast into the processor.
Rose did not answer, emptied the tractor, and returned to the battlefield with Chu Jungui to collect the corpses of the strange beasts.
After walking some distance, Chu Jungui asked: "Are you worried?"
Rose shook her head and said: "It's nothing big, just a little unexpected. In the Shadow Fortress, we don't do this, and we don't have time to conduct such research."
"This is normal. You have a steady stream of supplies, from materials to soldiers. Of course, there is no need to study this. Otherwise, the soldiers will have to retrain how to master new weapons. But we are different. Our landing ship
It crashed, and the leader who landed earlier was wiped out. If we don’t know how to use the materials on this planet, we won’t survive a day.”
"Of course I know this. But one thing you may not know is that studying how to use materials from this planet is not that simple. Especially here, the difficulty has jumped several levels."
Chu Jungui was a little surprised, "It's impossible, isn't it? When Roland surrendered, he also contributed an armor plate formula that combined local materials, which is much ahead of our research. Isn't this the result of your research?"
"There are not many practical results in the entire Shadow Fortress, and that formula is one of them, and it is the result of intensive research. You must know that there are currently at least a dozen scientists in different fields in the Shadow Fortress, who are trying their best to analyze various aspects of the planet.
materials, but the progress is actually quite slow. For example, in the case of alien beasts, apart from grinding bones into powder as raw materials for base construction, there is no other progress."
Chu Jungui frowned slightly and said: "This is unreasonable. Although our agent chip is advanced, after all, it is limited by size and energy supply, and its computing power has its limits. If the Federation does not have a chip of the same grade, I am
Those who don’t believe it.”
Rose nodded and said, "I don't believe it either. But after being here with you for a while, I found that my consciousness is slowly becoming clearer. It's like... waking up in the morning and drinking a cup of strong coffee."
“Is this a problem for you or is it common?”
"It seems to be a common phenomenon in the Shadow Fortress."
Chu Jungui pondered for a moment and said: "So, the danger level of this planet needs to be re-estimated again. You should leave and not come to us."
"I also have some regrets." Rose sighed.
The two subconsciously speeded up their actions. The more supplies they had, the more protection they would have.
In the Shadow Fortress, the central command hall is busy. A brand new spherical instrument is being carried into the command hall and placed in the center of the hall.
There were originally more than ten different base command posts here, but now they have been cleared and moved to other rooms.
Joseph and William both stood on the second floor, silently watching the installation of the new instruments.
The engineering staff removed its outer packaging, revealing the giant silver metal sphere with a diameter of nine meters inside. There are countless fine lines on the surface of the sphere. If you look closely, it is a spliced fine line. Just from the workmanship,
, this metal giant ball has reached a very high level.
After the engineers put the ball in place, they opened the interface on the ball and inserted hundreds of cables as thick as fists into the ball.
Next to Joseph and William, there stood a tall and thin old man. His gray hair was messy, his eyes were sunken, and his face was gloomy. It was obvious that he had not had much rest recently.
He held the data board and introduced: "This is a newly designed Cambrian master brain that can withstand the highest level of EMP impact. It uses full-line data transmission, and all the cables we see now can withstand EMP levels below level 2.
Shock. At the same time, it also integrates the latest vibration data processing unit, and with 2,000 sensors implanted under the fortress, it can capture and analyze abnormal vibrations within a radius of 500 kilometers. As the data it collects increases, the analysis mode can also
With further optimization, the final detection range can exceed 1,000 kilometers."
William did not look so happy, and said slowly: "The defense and detection functions are not bad. But since you spent so much money, why did you get a Cambrian? If I remember correctly, this thing was not from 110 years ago.
Is it an antique?"
The old man said: "Planet 4 has a special environment. The daily environment here is equivalent to being within the impact range of a level 3 EMP bomb. At the peak of the magnetic explosion, it will even exceed the core strength of level 1 EMP. No master brain can
It is impossible to work normally in this extreme environment, even if all existing protection methods are installed. After countless tests, only this special version of the Cambrian Master Brain can withstand the impact of the magnetic explosion here. Although its performance is limited
, but it’s better than nothing.”
"What a hellish place!" Joseph couldn't help but cursed.
A trace of resentment flashed in the old man's eyes, and he nodded: "It is indeed a place to see ghosts."
"By the way, has our return spaceship been built?" William asked.
"You, no, it should be said to be us now. Our return spacecraft is still on the drawing board."
"What?" Joseph jumped up immediately, "Still on the drawing? Didn't it say that the progress has exceeded 40%?"
The old man smiled bitterly and said: "This time the progress display standard has been adjusted. The total progress of the drawing stage is 70%."
Joseph's face was gloomy, he grabbed the old man's collar and said coldly: "You dare to play tricks on me?"
William reached out, took off Joseph's hand, and said, "Calm down, maybe the people above are playing tricks on us, but not Professor Herman. Otherwise, the professor wouldn't be here."
Joseph reluctantly let go.
Herman took a breath, straightened his messed up collar, and said to William: "Thank you."
William said: "Professor, since you know you can't go back once you come, why do you still come? If I guessed correctly, you probably didn't do it voluntarily."
Herman looked ugly and said: "Half of it is voluntary. If I come, they promise to give my only son the rank of colonel. But if I don't come, then there will be a series of investigations waiting for me."
William smiled and said: "Old-fashioned method. But it doesn't matter. I think you are lucky this time and you should be betting in the right direction."
