"What's the difference?" The gunsmith couldn't see the difference anyway.
Anshui replied: "To put it simply, the one you saw last time was of the all-purpose type, and this ruin should be of the combat defense type."
"Oh? Is there such a setting? Why, this ruin can transform into a robot?" the consultant asked with interest.
"How much do you like robots..." The gunsmith had already put away the gun. Hearing the words "combat defense", he did not dare to do it rashly again.
"I need more information." Dark Water ignored their words and said to Suisside: "You should have tried many intrusion methods. Can you record the specific situation in writing for me to study?"
Suisside looked at Vanessa with a look of inquiry, and the latter avoided his eyes, just nodded noncommittally, and at the same time covered it up by touching the back of her neck.
"I will apply to the Inspector General. There should be no problem." Suisside replied. When he said this, the consultant really wanted to laugh. Do you think I am a blind person or a fool? You have just asked someone here who can tell you the truth.
"Then let's come here first." An Shui looked at the advisor and said.
The consultant squinted at Vanessa with contempt and said with a smile: "Oh, okay, let's go up."
Vanessa was eager to change the subject, so she said, "You just came down to take a look at it, and you're going up now?"
Gunsmith and Darkwater had already gone to the elevator, and only the consultant still paid attention to her: "Do you have any opinions?"
"I ran here to accompany you early in the morning, but this is what happened. I thought you would help us make a big breakthrough, but in the end we are asked to provide data?" Vanessa said nonsense without looking into the consultant's eyes. There was nothing she could do, some of her subordinates were too stupid and made her embarrassed.
The consultant looked back and saw that the other three people were on the elevator. He took a step closer and whispered in Vanessa's ear: "Let me tell you, how big an official are you? Could it be that you are the leader of the group?" Wife?"
"I'm just a programmer, believe it or not." She pushed the consultant away and said, "Let's go."
The consultant shrugged and returned to the lift with her, just as separated from everyone else as he had come down.
The morning survey ended like this. The three people in the reverse cross seem to know a lot of things, but the whole story cannot be inferred from their few words. Steel Commandment is still confused about the truth about this ruin.
… …
In the afternoon of that day, Lodovico sent someone to deliver the "organized" materials to the hotel. The consultant and the gunsmith came to Anshui's room together. The three of them closed the door and were secretly discussing what they were discussing.
"I checked. There are no bugs or pinhole cameras or anything like that." The gunsmith returned to the table and said.
The consultant said: "We will find out if they pretend, so they simply didn't do such a small trick. In my opinion, the other party's plan is to wait for us to unlock the secret of the ruins, find the treasure, and then arrest us and interrogate us slowly. "
The gunsmith said: "Then who said that I would only arrest you?"
"How can you trust a woman, let alone a woman like Vanessa." The consultant said: "A woman's wisdom can be fully reflected in her proficiency in deception."
"It seems that you have suffered a big loss." The gunsmith hit the nail on the head. He didn't think much about it, he just blurted it out intuitively.
The consultant was stunned for a few seconds: "Ah... well, that year... I was also seventeen, and she was also seventeen..."
"Impossible. How old are you this year? I guess it should be earlier. Guys like you are a very popular type in middle schools." The gunsmith said it casually and got it right.
"Hmm... Okay, fourteen is enough." The consultant said: "I once knew a girl who was dignified, intelligent, elegant, and a little cynical. She expressed a lot of dissatisfaction with the aristocracy. At that time, I considered But, should I let her take up some space in my boring life?"
"What happened next?" asked the gunsmith.
"She married into a wealthy family at the age of sixteen." The consultant curled his lips: "Hmm... maybe she wants to destroy them from within." He spread his hands: "So, you can't trust women."
The consultant told this story like it was a joke, but the gunsmith actually became serious, and intuitively told him the truth. The gunsmith sighed and said, "She is no longer in the world, right?"
The consultant's expression froze for a brief moment, and an imperceptible sadness flashed between his eyebrows: "Hey... that year... I was also seventeen, and she was also seventeen... The girl who committed suicide because of depression, in the letter... She kept telling me that she was having a great time." He quickly returned to his normal expression, as if he didn't care: "So, the conclusion is still the same, you can't trust women."
The gunsmith finally came to his senses at this time. He seemed to have unintentionally exposed the consultant's scars. In order to prevent being silenced, he decided to immediately adjust the atmosphere and bring the topic back: "Ah... okay, what, dark water... ruins , what do you think of the materials they excavated the ruins?"
Anshui said: "After reading it all, let me explain the situation."
The gunsmith was amnesty and listened to Darkwater's account with his advisor.
"After confirming the burial location of the treasure, they were very cautious. They first sent ability users to use relevant abilities to detect the underground conditions. They quickly confirmed the depth of the ruins and the structure of the top. However, due to being blocked by the outer metal, Unable to use their abilities to explore the inside of the ruins, they decided to dig deep and dig deeper before making further calculations.
It took nearly a month to seal off the surrounding area, dismantle part of the Colosseum, and formulate specific implementation methods and steps for the excavation project. When they dug near the top of the spire, they made preparations to salvage things from below. They reinforced the walls around the pit, set up scaffolding, and made lifting devices.
But they soon noticed a problem. There was no entrance to the metal spire of the ruins. The specific entrance was impossible to confirm. And their ability users also discovered that even if they used their abilities to the limit, they could not detect the pyramid. Wherever the bottom is, it is absolutely impossible to dig all the way to the bottom, otherwise the entire city of Rome would have to be overturned.
Therefore, they began to try to use external force to open the spire part. Steel Discipline's standard cannons, anti-tank weapons, corrosive weapons, etc. are not only ineffective, but also suffer backlash.
The explosive attack with strong impact was completely reflected by the metal, and all the power was refracted upwards, causing several pits to collapse, and they had to dig again.
The corrosive drug had no reaction the first time it was used. Only when they used the same drug for the second time did they notice that the metal had begun to rapidly absorb the drug.
Then, Steel Commandment asked their team of ability users to intervene, using pure brute force to push, but it was ineffective; punching and rebounding, the man's injury has not healed yet; attacks that released energy, rebounding, but this ability user avoided it He can use his own attacks; cutting attacks are ineffective, and those that can rebound are rebounded... The Suisside we met today, his ability is to change the temperature, they also tried to let him melt the metal... "
"Oh... is that why he has a bandage on his palm?" the consultant continued.
The gunsmith was stunned: "Is there any?"
"Didn't you notice?" Anshui thought; "Sure enough... only the narrators and consultants can collect information like me."
The gunsmith said: "What did you say? What about collecting information?"
"The collection of information he refers to actually means 'seeing'. The way we see things is different. In fact, most people in the world are almost blind." The consultant explained: "For example, if you have been in this room It’s been almost half an hour, and I’ve checked every corner to see if there are surveillance devices, so can you tell me how many power sockets there are in the room we’re in right now?”
"Hmm..." The gunsmith was stunned.
"In fact, even people who have lived in a house for decades may not be able to tell the number of sockets. When entering a strange environment, people are almost like blind people. For example, if a person is alone in a room Stay in a hotel room for an hour, and then when you come out, you ask him about the pattern of the wallpaper, the color of the curtains, the style of the lampshade, etc. Those things have been right in front of him, but he may not be right about them.
Or they are the kind of people who sit and pretend to be melancholy in places like restaurants and outdoor coffee shops for the whole afternoon. They go to the same shop every day and sit there for three or four hours. You can ask them at any moment how many tables there are in this store, and 90% of the time they won't be able to tell. "
The consultant said, picking up the prepared tomato juice and taking a sip: "People ignore what they see all the time. In fact, everything that appears in their sight can be engraved in their minds, but our brains have a The safety mechanism will 'filter' out the irrelevant junk information and protect us from going crazy. Only a few people with photographic memory, or geniuses with brains that are different from ordinary people, will see more and remember more. Live more. It’s instinct, not skill, and it’s almost impossible to improve with training.”
"Aren't you two so good at deceiving me that my eyesight is now blind?" the gunsmith asked.
"Hey, I'm too lazy to explain to you. Just remember that flag officer Suisside's hand was injured." the consultant replied.
Dark Water continued to narrate: "He tried to heat the surface metal of the ruins to melt it. As a result, the heat was absorbed first, and then his ability was blocked. In the third stage, only his own palms became hot, so his left hand was burned. ; But he still refused to give up and wanted to use his other hand to see if he could freeze the metal and then break it."
"So his right hand is frostbitten, right..." The gunsmith gloated, and this was indeed quite funny.
Anshui nodded and continued: "Even if they later sent out people with abilities above the ferocious level, it would be of no avail. Take the shell of the universal city-state in South America as an example. As long as it is not penetrated by one blow, the metal shell will absorb all kinds of attack energy and Reinforce yourself and keep getting stronger." He looked at the gunsmith: "Your bone gun becomes stronger when it encounters strength. You were very lucky to be able to penetrate the metal shell, because the power of that gun was just enough to penetrate the metal of that city-state. There is no room for enhancement of the shell.
But this spire here has become unbreakable after they tried various attacks. To put it more simply, assuming that two tons of force were used to break the shell the first time, but one ton of force was used to attack and it was not broken, then it is absolutely impossible to use two tons of force the second time. Crushed. Perhaps at this time, three tons or even five tons of destructive power will be needed. "
The consultant said: "Hmph... With the moral character of these guys, they have given up digging. They must have tried countless times. I think the information handed over to us is incomplete."
Anshui continued: "The most troublesome thing is that the ruins here, or the city-state, are of the combat defense type. When I touched the metal shell today, I felt that the city-state's defense mechanism was completely activated.
Repeated attacks on a point outside the city-state actually completely activated the defense of the entire city-state. It can be seen that their attempts have been exhaustive, and they only let outsiders like us intervene because they were really helpless. "
The gunsmith said: "Combat defense type, the inside of the ruins is also dangerous, right?" The memory of the ruins in South America resurfaced in his mind, the disappearance of the feeling of physiological needs, and the handprints that looked like teleportation runes, etc. …
"Let me think about it." Dark Water took some time to organize his words: "Using human concepts, an omnipotent city-state is like a civilian facility, with its main functions being life, production, learning, rituals, etc.; a combat-defense city-state A city-state has a very clear and single function, such as guarding a certain area or destroying a certain area... "
"Like an aircraft carrier?" the gunsmith asked.
Anshui replied: "No, the universal type is closer to an aircraft carrier, and it also has combat configurations. At that time, the reason why you didn't encounter the 'trap' room was because I had been operating secretly."
When the gunsmith heard the other party's straightforward words, a chill ran down his spine. So there is such a thing? ! If Dark Water hadn't wanted to use his talents to repair the Eternal Core at that time, I'm afraid he would have finished playing. Either he was poisoned by Dark Water or walked into a so-called "trap" room, and then... boom! The gunsmith's mind was a little confused at the moment, and he couldn't think of what kind of trap the Dark Water race would lay. In short, it was... boom!
The consultant thought for a while and asked: "Then our original plan must be adjusted, right?"
Anshui said: "I'm afraid that's inevitable, so I asked them for information. One is to confirm to what level the city-state's defense system has been upgraded to; the other is to buy time. We have to formulate a new plan because of this exploration. It will no longer be as easy as expected, it will be very dangerous, at least for you humans, the mortality rate will be extremely high."
