Chapter 27 In desperation

 Mount Argentario Base is a very special place. This specialness is reflected on the one hand in its huge internal space and a large number of scientific equipment. On the other hand, the layout and design of Mount Argentario Base are really impressive.

People are amazed.

Light yellow lead-containing radiation-proof glass is arranged in a circle along the living area. On the towering peaks, many boulders that have been formed for hundreds of millions of years have been hollowed out to facilitate the layout of the living area - each room has its own independent

Huge floor-to-ceiling windows ensure visibility, and also have bathtubs and independent fabric synthesis systems.

To be honest, Lu Chen was shocked the first second he saw the living environment - in such a ghost place, why do you want to make the living area look like a resort?

"Because the cost of doing this is very low, and the people who live and work here really need a real rest environment." Director Li Xiaohui explained, "The Mount Argentario base has never been officially opened, but the verification

The process of building those experimental facilities was time-consuming."

A group of engineers who stand at the top of mankind, a group of almost the best workers on the entire planet, as well as corresponding project managers and logistics support personnel will quickly arrive in Argentari from all corners of the world when the committee needs it.

Oushan Base. What will greet them will be design drawings that basically only exist in theory, construction requirements that require extremely high accuracy, incredible material strength and processing difficulty...

And a ridiculously short construction period.

Under such conditions, if there is no excellent rest environment, the tasks entrusted by the coalition government will be almost impossible to achieve. After all, humans are not precise machines. As animals, humans will be affected by many factors.

If you want to improve efficiency, try to provide the best environment.

"I can understand the need for such good conditions." Lu Chen frowned and asked, "But... the cost is very low?" He looked at the area of ​​at least two hundred square meters where he was currently located, which was completely taken from the heart of the mountain.

After leaving the room, he asked, "How is the cost low here?"

"All the civil construction and decoration parts you see so far are completed by a set of self-organizing AI construction robots." Watanabe explained appropriately, "Forty-two hundred robots of various types are working here.

month, and then completed the construction of the residential area at the base of Mount Argentario - they were actually the first test objects of Mount Argentario."

"Robots build houses? So powerful?" Lu Chen's eyes widened, "So does this equipment have practical applications now? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"They failed to pass the test." Watanabe spread his hands, "An AI robot was able to bypass the administrator's permission and increased to 4,200 units in two days. They showed serious uncontrollable tendencies...

…But more importantly, self-organizing AI robots pose a serious threat to the entire economic system.”

"Anyway, that's all in the past - do you want to take a look at the rooms first? It is said that each of these rooms has a different style." Watanabe enthusiastically introduced to everyone, "You choose a room first, and it will take one hour.

Afterwards, we will gather in the cafeteria - Dr. Lu, the data record you want will be delivered after dinner."

Lu Chen originally wanted to choose the same room as Mu Zhiran, but unfortunately the female doctor was not very thick-skinned. Academician Tang was staring at her with no expression at all. She was really embarrassed to live in the same room with her boyfriend.

Go inside.

"It's really not suitable for young lovers to live together at this time." Even Director Li expressed his objection, "It's too easy to make mistakes."

Although Lu Chen dismissed this worry, in the end he chose to compromise - the worst he could do was live next door and sneak over at night.

To be honest, one hour is actually a lot of time. Neither Lu Chen, Mu Zhiran nor Academician Tang brought much luggage. They originally thought this was a short trip to "join the committee and then return to Central University"...

Lu Chen didn't even bring any other clothes with him. He thought that if it didn't work out, he would just buy some clothes from the fabric synthesis machine - it would be much more convenient to have a replacement.

"Brother, I can't contact the equipment here." After arriving in the room, Lu Chen thought about changing clothes first to match the dinner later - and taking a shower by the way. Unexpectedly, Baozi's answer to him was that he was helpless.

"Brother, let me tell you, the AI ​​here is really strange. They refuse to connect to me, and they even curse!"

Although I don’t know what the AI ​​can scold, it’s obvious that the equipment here seems unwilling to cooperate with Baozi. Lu Chen followed Baozi’s instructions and finally found the control panel of the fabric synthesis machine next to the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Please do not use low-level AI to connect to this device." A line of white words appeared on the control panel, and Baozi began to complain at the same time, "Brother, look, it says I am low-level!"

"I guess they don't mean that." Lu Chen comforted his assistant AI with a smile, and then started to click on the operation buttons on it. It is not difficult to get a set of clothes. After a few minutes,

A brand new casual suit appeared in front of Lu Chen.

Baozi was still complaining that the other AIs in this room were extremely uncooperative. Lu Chen was holding his clothes and making gestures on his body. Just as he was about to take off his pants and put on new ones to try, there was suddenly a sound outside the light yellow floor-to-ceiling window.

Something shook.

This is the summit area of ​​Mount Argentario, surrounded by exposed rocks and thick cliffs. The radiation level on the outer layer of the summit is due to airflow subsidence, and the basic background radiation level is ridiculously high. The background radiation here is approximately

8.3mSv/h.

For comparison, if the environmental radiation dose within three square kilometers reaches or exceeds 0.1mSv/h due to the accident, it can be called a "particularly major radiation accident." The area of ​​the Mount Argentario base is approximately 7,000 square kilometers - that year

The seriousness of the consequences of the nuclear accident in the Mediterranean region can be seen.

Of course, now is not the time to worry about the past.

Lu Chen was very sure that he was not wrong. He did see something moving. It is almost impossible to have wild animals in a place where acute radiation poisoning is likely to occur if the radiation level is relatively low. They may be able to survive under relatively low radiation levels.

You can survive on the low leeward slope, but on the top of the windward slope... the possibility is really slim.

If it's not a wild animal, what could it be? It can't be Count Nicholas, a local resident who has lived for who knows how many 700 years, right?

The environment outside is so dangerous that the base uses leaded glass about 80 centimeters thick to make such floor-to-ceiling windows.

Well... the cost should still be very high. No matter how powerful the self-organizing AI is, it shouldn't be able to rub 800mm lead glass with bare hands, right? And this thing is more than five meters long and three meters high. How can lead glass weighing five tons be a building?

What can a robot do?

Lu Chen was thinking wildly when he suddenly heard the bells ringing loudly throughout the base. A layer of armor plates quickly covered the five-ton floor-to-ceiling windows from the outside. At the same time, the loudspeaker began to play what was obviously a pre-recorded emergency announcement.

"Abnormal activity signals have been detected in the restricted area of ​​the base. There may be intruders entering the base warning area. All operators in the base are requested to report to the nearest military officer quickly. Non-combatants please stop what they are doing, obey the command and evacuate in place.

."

Lu Chen hugged his new clothes, kicked open his own door, and then kicked Mu Zhiran's door five times. Finally, Mu Zhiran opened the door, and Lu Chen climbed in.

house.

"What's wrong with you?" Mu Zhiran looked at Lu Chen in surprise. His boyfriend was rolling around on the ground holding his legs and grinning. He looked like he was in pain.

"Door... door..." Lu Chen, who was so overwhelmed with adrenaline just now, didn't care at all that he hugged his legs and rolled for a long time before explaining what probably happened - he didn't know that the sliding door in the room was actually made of pure aluminum magnesium.

After a few steps on the alloy block, Lu Chen himself felt numb first.

"Um, don't be nervous, everyone. I checked the surveillance and it should be a false alarm from the system." Watanabe's muddling voice replaced the emergency broadcast, "Doctor Lu, if your leg hurts badly, you can go to the restaurant first.

Come on in - we have emergency medicines in stock."

Watanabe seemed to laugh, but then seemed to just cough.

"If you can't handle it yourself, you can wait a few more hours. Professor Yang Weimin can do some processing for you after he arrives at the base."
