Chapter 37 War Machinery
The metal passage is not long, just a few meters away, and opposite is a large metal isolation door that has fallen. There is also a small door next to the isolation door. Depending on the size, it should be used by humanoid puppets and their original operators on a daily basis.
"The humanoid creature is close to the Pavatiga people and has an unknown appearance, but it should not be too special." Standing in front of the small door, Sulbi measured the height of the entrance, "If, as Mia, as you said, the automatic system is the control of the fortress, then the weapons do not attack us, and even allow us to enter such an important base, there may only be two reasons."
"Train? Temptation us in?"
"It's not that exaggerating. Let's not talk about whether the automatic system has the intelligence to set traps. Even if it can be set, there is no need to be such trouble." Shur pressed his hand on the door and shook his head. "Whether it is the bugs or the controllers of this fortress, our understanding of our attack and defense capabilities is based on them."
Shuer pointed to the ordinary mercenaries who were guarding other than ordinary people.
"Are you deliberately hiding your strength?" Mia was stunned and said in a little surprised.
"It's no harm to keep a trump card in your hand." Shure smiled without comment. "If the fortress wants to destroy them, it can do it with only those guns. No need to do anything. As long as we just put the fire time in advance a few seconds, if we don't participate in the war, we will be attacked from the front and back, and we will not be able to survive, so there is no need to waste time setting traps, and we will risk being destroyed from the inside."
"Yeah, that's right." Mia's proud eyes became a little different, but, the undead mage next to her, can your expression be a little more ferocious? Mia didn't notice someone gritting her teeth and said thoughtfully, "So two reasons you said, one is..."
"One is that the attack command of the fortress automatic system is only targeted at bugs," Shuer explained. "Depending on the situation, both sides are mortal enemies. The bacteria blankets covered with the ground disappear near the fortress. When the fortress sees the bugs, they open fire, which is enough to show the attitude of both sides. Then, the fortress sets the bugs as mortal enemies and other creatures are friendly creatures, which can explain why we are not attacked."
"As for the second reason, it is that the creatures that build this fortress and control the automatic system are very similar to ours, so that the automatic system of the fortress determines us as friendly forces, and of course it will not attack us again."
"Two possibilities, I had no tendency at first, but seeing those human-shaped puppets and the height and size of the inner and outer doors, I became more and more inclined toward the second point. The similarity between our two sides is enough to confuse the judgment of the automatic system."
"Hey? Can creatures in other worlds look the same as us?" Moria said in surprise. "Why do I see all strange creatures? Even the remains of intelligent creatures do not look like humans?"
Xiuer didn't say anything, but just stared at Lin Jing with a very weak look.
"Ah, hahaha, I didn't say anything just now." When Shure asked who had the experience of chasing the shadow, this guy pretended to know nothing, but he accidentally let it go, but with Lin Jing's personality, of course it would be nothing, "You haven't heard anything, right, hahaha."
"Oh." Xiuer sighed deeply, feeling that the creature Lin Jing was simply his natural enemy, but the captain's responsibilities still have to be fulfilled. He could only explain weakly, "There will be strange and intelligent creatures, but there must be creatures exactly the same as us, so there is no need to question this."
"Hey? How do you know?" Moria said meaningfully, "You probably haven't entered the projection space, why can you be so sure?"
"Because I..."
"Oh." Lin Jing subtly interrupted Xiu'er's speech that had already been good, "I'm so dark, I'm going to breathe. Go out quickly, I'm going to have a star."
What is your logic? Shuer grinded his teeth and felt a split headache.
Even though the headache was a headache, the door still had to enter. Shuer pushed open the side door hard. It was obvious that it was dark outside, but in the eyes of everyone who had adapted to the darkness, the stars outside were dazzling.
When vision recovers, everyone feels as if they have entered a world that only exists in fantasy.
The first thing I saw was a square square with a length and width of 50 meters. Like the walls, the ground of the square was also made of metal, and the silver-gray metal shone under the starlight. In the center of the square, a large bracket with complex shape was slowly retracting into the ground. Judging from the position where the smoke just rose, the powerful shell should have been emitted from this bracket. When the bracket was retracted from the underground, the square became flat and smooth, and it was difficult to find the position where the bracket was raised.
On the metal square, there were six hideous metal monsters parked. The shape of all metal, the track-shaped bases like human-shaped puppets, the thick and strong front and rear armor, the flexible turrets, the long gun barrel extending out of the body, the black hole gun barrel is thick and long, and the inner diameter is even similar to that of an adult's thigh. It is hard to imagine how powerful the shells fired inside will be.
The metal monster was much taller than a human being. When standing in front of him, he could only look up. Shuer tried to shake it. Even with the power of his blessing, it was difficult to lift it up, so he could only make it slightly up and down.
"It's very heavy, at least tens of thousands of kilograms." Shure shook his hand and curled his lips. If it were Duck or Suff, he might be able to lift it up a little, use all his explosive power, and maybe he could drag it two steps, but he definitely couldn't.
In addition to these six metal monsters, there are two other artificial machines parked in the square, with very strange shapes, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The machine has a flat body, almost horizontal below, and several small wheels extend out from the body to support the entire machine to support the entire machine. From the bottom of the machine, you can see that in addition to the wheels, there are several holes as thick as a big arm at the bottom of the machine. There are traces of high temperature roasting inside the holes, and flames should be sprayed out from it.
The upper part of the machine is perfectly streamlined, with a very smooth surface and can even bring out human figures.
Two triangular metal parts, protruding from both sides of the machine, look like birds' wings, and the surface of the parts is also smooth. Shuer even suspected that even if he sprinkled water on it, it would slide down quickly without leaving any trace.
At the tail of the machine, there are six nozzles similar to the lower part, but they are much thicker than the nozzle at the bottom, and there are also signs of roasting inside. When you touch it, it is cold and it seems that it has not been used recently.
"What is this?" Everyone was interested in surrounding two machines, and even ordinary mercenaries surrounded them curiously. They were not allowed to return to their posts after being scolded by Shuer.
No wonder everyone is curious. Although the six metal monsters look ferocious and terrifying, they can tell at a glance that they are nothing more than large-scale war weapons, but these two are different. Logically speaking, they should be war weapons here, but no matter how they look at it, they can't tell how they can exert their strength.
Maybe it's not that anyone can't see it. At least, Yuli, who has always pretended to be ordinary, two frenzy flames ignited in his eyes. It's like Shul saw gold coins, oh, no, as fanatical as Shul was bathed in divine grace. Unfortunately, everyone's attention was attracted by strange machinery, and no one noticed Yuli's enthusiasm.
Eight war equipments fill the square with a lot of internal firearms around the square, ready for the enemy to invade the interior at any time, and it is fully armed and deserves to be a military fortress.
However, these are the metal puppets where they usually stay? If humanoid creatures that make automatic systems enter the fortress, they also stay? Also, vehicles have cockpits and can definitely be driven manually. So, where are the drivers and biological warriors?
Of course inside the fortress.
After walking around the fortress, in addition to a few upward stairs, you can find that there are several cross-open metal doors embedded on the wall, and there are signs of up and down arrows next to them. Elevators, similar tools are also available, and they are mostly used in magic towers. It is said that the Winged Man's Sky City is also often used, but the materials and driving energy are different, and the principles are still the same.
"Go or go first?" It's safe time now, and Shuer is doing well and has spoken a lot, unlike in wartime xx, "The above should be a combat platform, and the below is the main body of the fortress. Dak, you have just seen the above. Is there anything special?"
"It's very boring." Dark said nonsense seriously, "It's similar to the city walls over our side, but the bows and arrows have been replaced with guns, but it's a bit strange."
"Yeah? What's strange?"
"That's..." Dark was about to say something, but the fortress suddenly became brighter. The walls and ground were all lighted, and the light was soft, but it was enough to illuminate the entire square.
At the same time as the lights, there was also a sound that resounded through the fortress square. The sound was like a human-shaped puppet, and it seemed to be mechanically emitted, but this one was more like a female voice. The sound was repeated several times, as always, and no one could understand the meaning.
"That's just strange." Dark looked up, "It turns out that those interfaces and slides are the functions."
Above the head, the top of the fortress slowly rises several arc-shaped metal plates from the thick metal wall. After the metal plates rise to the highest point, they begin to close inward. Finally, they are spliced together with tight joints to form a hemispherical zenith, which closes the top of the fortress and turns the open-air square into an indoor square.
"Well, I wonder why war equipment needs to be placed in the open air. So it can still be like this." Withdrawing attention from the closed roof, Shuer pressed the downward arrow, "Since it's boring, let's go down to take a look. I really want to see the automatic system that can control the entire fortress."
The elevator is smooth and fast, and silent, which is much easier to use than the crystal-energy elevator of Pavadiga, but the space inside is not large and it can only carry more than 20 people. There is no way, so it can only be divided into two batches. Shuer took one batch and took one step first. Within a few seconds, he fell by dozens of meters and entered the fortress.
