Chapter two hundred and seventeen. Ground investigation
The internal equipment of the scientific research ship built by Lu Yu is based on the biological simulation technology he unlocked when he was on Earth. The long-term purpose is to climb the biological simulation technology tree and other technologies that may be unlocked by studying various creatures in the pioneer field, including monsters and pioneers.
At this stage, the Expedition was still in a state of adapting to the pioneer field environment and ready to fight at any time. However, the robot reconnaissance and communication network that has spread more and more widely so far has not found traces of pioneer activities and threats of attacks, which allows Lu Yu to concentrate on studying his own affairs.
The automated production line of the Expedition is enough to ensure the current supply of weapons and equipment of the Expedition, which is in the consideration of war. The production of the factory is now focusing on the manufacturing of communication reconnaissance robots. Humans have a much less understanding of pioneers than the pioneers’ understanding of humans. The Expedition urgently needs to understand the pioneer field and obtain more information about the pioneers.
As reconnaissance robots, exploration robots and resource robots collect more and more data about the ground, the combat staff proposed adaptive training plans for the combat effectiveness of the Expedition subordinates.
The combat power of the Expedition is roughly divided into three parts. The first part is the weapons and equipment that the base ship itself has, such as electromagnetic cannons, missiles, torpedoes, energy weapons and other attack equipment, as well as active and passive defensive equipment such as war fog, interference weapons, etc., and even the war factories used for production and the dispatched robots should be considered in the base's combat power.
The second part of the combat power is the giant mechas of the Expedition, which now includes the three giant mechas of the Counterattack, the No. 3 mechas, the No. 4 mechas, as well as Julia, Xiaopang, Chen Tianming, the No. 3 mechas, and the pilots of the No. 4 mechas.
These mechas are the main force facing monsters on Earth, but after dozens of super bombs destroying the wormhole and killing the pioneer base during their journey, whether it is necessary to follow the combat principles on Earth and can sprinkle bombs at will, whether it takes a lot of effort to build mechas has begun to become a military issue on Expeditionary.
In the midst of endless quarrels, Lu Yu decided to give a solution, that is, on the one hand, the Operations General Staff continuously collected intelligence to analyze the feasibility of continuing to build mechas.
On the other hand, Lu Yu had no stronger technology to use before the mecha, and suspended the construction of giant mechas. He replenished the consumed super bombs, slowly relocated the nuclear arsenal of the Expedition, and also maintained other super weapons such as electromagnetic cannons, laser cannons, and then placed the heavy force on the research new technology tree.
By the time Lu Yu can come up with more powerful technology, the current dispute over mecha may be resolved. By then, no matter what kind of considerations are made, Lu Yu can satisfy everyone's mecha dream at will.
The third part of the combat power of the Expedition is the small Titan mecha, which can be controlled as a robot remote control, and can be driven and operated by the driver in person. After repeated improvements, the Titan mecha has developed many models, which can be equipped with rich modular equipment and has strong environmental adaptability. It is a very excellent multi-purpose platform and has been used for many purposes.
The Operations General Staff selected a barren area as the site for the first time to land, and the team sent was a ground inspection team composed of three 10-ton miniature Titan mechas.
These three mechas are remotely controlled by three preparatory drivers through remote control cockpits.
After logging in, three mini Titan mechas conducted a series of experiments to collect data on the mechas’ activity on the ground.
The first login activity has no complicated tasks to be completed and it ends smoothly soon.
But even though the inspection activities did not do much, the Operations General Staff took it seriously, thus setting and improving a series of incoming and exit management procedures.
The unmanned landing experiment quickly entered the meaningful biological investigation stage from adaptive investigation in barren areas.
During this period, the investigation network discovered some life existences. Judging from the distribution of these living organisms, it can be called "land-wide" and "sparse organisms" at least within the range that can be detected by Expedition.
Four remote-controlled Titan Mecha Expedition Teams, each of which is equipped with four 10-ton to 10-ton Titan Mechas to investigate four different targets.
The first goal was the initial discovery of the rift valley where the purple-glowed plants and the giant worms grew.
The second goal is a place that looks like a lake. The area of the lake is actually similar to a pond, but the detector found that there seemed to be some movement inside, so it was listed as the object of investigation.
The third goal is a place similar to the "Stone Forest" and a little like the Gobi Death City. After entering, the detector lost contact and sent back some strange scenes. So the Operations General Staff decided to send a team of expeditions to do some observations to avoid any accidents.
The fourth goal is to have dense holes in a mountainous area. The holes do not look like they are formed naturally. An expedition team brought special detection equipment to explore.
The first result of the four inspection targets was the second group of ponds. The blue-looking "water surface" actually had a very high temperature. After the instrument measurement, it was found that its temperature reached more than 2,000 degrees Celsius. The depth measurement instrument made of high-performance materials was thrown into the depth measurement instrument and it was not able to figure out the depth below the pond until the limit. It seemed that this was a very special terrain structure.
The fourth group obtained the results of the investigation in a very unexpected way.
After determining that the holes with diameters of five meters or even ten meters are very deep and difficult to transmit signals, the Titan mecha carried a detection robot specially designed for wired connections and put them in it.
As a result, after the robot entered more than 500 meters, a gust of unfavorable wind blew out. As a result, the robot had no time to evacuate, and several large insects that were close to the diameter of the hole rushed out from it.
These large worms look very much like worms but are huge. With a large diameter, they have reached dozens of meters in length. After rushing out of the hole, the four Titan mechas had no time to hide, and two of them were seriously damaged.
The big insects did not react after ramming the Titan mecha. They quickly moved to the hole on the other side of the mountain and then drilled into the underground and disappeared, leaving only the flying sand and stones on the ground in a mess.
