The group walked through the military building and came to the meeting room of the building where the stationed personnel lived. It was meal time, and the soldiers and staff were eating and chatting with their meals. When they saw Grace, they all ignored her. It seemed that Grace's relationship with these people was really hostile.
Through the window, one can see avatars nearly three meters tall walking around outside the building. Most of the living facilities outside are specially designed for avatars, and the sports field, basketball court and even stone benches are twice as large as normal ones.
It is obvious that the people on Earth have made adequate preparations to allow the humans living in the Avatar's body to adapt to the Avatar's athletic abilities.
Grace didn't stay and took Meng Xiang straight to the research laboratory.
After walking through the auditorium and the crisscrossing corridors, where humans and avatars came and went, Grace finally entered a relatively large laboratory. She felt relieved, closed the door, took a long breath, and said to Meng Xiang, "It's safe here."
"Where is this?" Meng Xiang looked around the laboratory. There were 5 coffin-like avatars connected to the mainframe inside. Various scientific research instruments and equipment were placed around. Even during meal time, there were still many researchers busy.
"This is my area." Grace smiled slyly. The people around her were different from the soldiers outside. They were very respectful to Grace. When they saw Grace coming back, they all came over to greet her. Grace exchanged pleasantries with them, and then took Meng Xiang to a small experimental room.
Grace put away her carry-on luggage and walked to a relatively large metal table. She typed on the computer on the side. The colorful lights on both sides were like lasers, and they were projected onto the table, forming a three-dimensional projection. Grace said calmly, "This is the structural diagram of the base. You have to remember these locations."
Meng Xiang nodded and listened carefully to Grace's explanation. The focus, of course, is the residence of the North Sea Team - Room 203, Zone B, Military Zone, and the Avatar Host Connection Room. The five connection hosts in Grace's laboratory are only used for experiments by scientific researchers. Among them, Grace and Nome both have Avatars. Avatars are a special biological container. People with inconsistent DNA cannot be mixed with humans of the original prototype. Due to the change in the plot, Avatars have become rampant. Those Avatars that attack the home tree are flexible and agile, almost as good as the Na'vi, and their strength, speed and physique seem to be above the Na'vi. Obviously, the Avatars developed by the earthlings are better than the Na'vi. And because it takes a long time to create an Avatar, a manipulator may have 3 to 4 Avatars, so that when the Avatar they manipulate dies, they can immediately replace it with another one.
Therefore, the most effective way to destroy the Avatar is to kill the controller. Unfortunately, it is too difficult to kill these controllers one by one, so Meng Xiang chose a simpler method, which is to destroy the connecting host.
Even if the people on Earth can rebuild the console, it will take at least some time. By then, the resistance force on Pandora will have been formed and the Avatar will no longer be a threat.
Moreover, Meng Xiang had inspected the Soul Tree. The terrain and environment there gave humans no advantage at all, so if the Soul Tree was attacked from the ground, the people on Earth would definitely use a large number of Avatars.
This is one of the reasons why Meng Xiang came here. If the Earthlings lose the Avatar, it will definitely be a big blow to them. They may give up on blowing up the Soul Tree. Even if they don't give up, they can only attack from the air. In that area, the Earthlings' planes and even missiles can only be made by hand, and their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. I believe that the Earthlings will give up blowing up the Soul Tree and choose to attack the Home Tree instead.
This is the overall plan that Meng Xiang has come up with.
It was a military zone, no entry for outsiders. Meng Xiang couldn't help but feel worried. It seemed impossible to break in by force. If he caused trouble too early, facing the Earthling army and the North Sea team, Meng Xiang would have no choice but to escape.
Seeing Meng Xiang frowning, Grace asked, "Any other questions?"
"Doctor, can you take me to the military area? It would be best if you could send me to the Avatar's connection host room."
"There are over 100 connected hosts there, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Are you planning to..." Grace had guessed Meng Xiang's thoughts, and then murmured, "If you do that, it can indeed deal a heavy blow to the Earth Army, but in that case, you may not be able to escape."
Meng Xiang smiled slightly, his face full of confidence: "Don't worry, I'm very good at running away."
Grace took a deep puff of her cigarette and praised, "As long as you have the confidence, I can make their host computer malfunction and then bring you in."
Meng Xiang was overjoyed and quickly said, "Then let's do it. When can we take action?"
"I need 2 hours to connect to the host."
"Okay, let's do it this way." Meng Xiang was delighted. Grace connected the cables and kept typing on the keyboard. Meng Xiang memorized the location of Room 2o3 in Zone B of the Military Zone and the main engine connection room. His goal was not only to destroy the connecting main engine, he had to give the Beihai team a taste of his own medicine.
Avatar was designed by Grace, so she was of course familiar with the core technology. After some effort, she finally completed the signal interference. At this time, Meng Xiang also memorized the main area location and structure of the military zone.
Because most of the buildings are connected, it's like a maze inside. Although the corridors have been widened to accommodate the Avatar's body shape, they are crisscrossed and if you don't remember the structure, you won't be able to escape easily once you enter.
After waiting for a long time, Grace's subordinates finally came to report that the Avatar connection host in the military zone had a malfunction and someone needed to be sent to repair it.
"You report to the rough guy over there and tell him that Norm and I are going to do the repairs." Grace said as if nothing had happened.
"Noam? Is he back?" The researcher looked around in confusion. Grace immediately changed the subject and said, "Just do as I say. Go out and tell your colleagues that they are tired too. Take care of your health and get more rest."
"Yes." The man retreated. Grace immediately picked up a toolbox and said to Meng Xiang, "Let's go. I look forward to your big fight."
Meng Xiang said: "After entering the connection host room, you must immediately find an excuse to leave and ask Chu Di to send you back to the Hallelujah Mountains."
"Yes." Grace nodded in agreement, and the two walked out of the laboratory.
Meng Xiang still didn't dare to be careless and kept suppressing his strength to avoid being discovered by the Beihai team. Fortunately, he didn't see Naruto and Vic along the way.
She entered the military zone very smoothly. Almost all the people coming in and out were soldiers. They all despised the anti-war actions of scientists like Grace, so they didn't even look at her. Grace walked forward proudly, ignoring the people in front of her. Even if someone reluctantly greeted her, she would not stop to be polite. In her eyes, soldiers were not just rough people, but also devils that strangled life.
Meng Xiang carried the heavy toolbox in both hands, pretending to stagger along with difficulty, secretly recalling the structural diagram of the military zone and matching it with the real scene in front of him. He knew that time was of the essence for the next action, and it would be bad if he took the wrong path.
When she walked to the front of the main engine room, several staff members greeted Grace with a smile. Grace just nodded to them and pushed the door in with Meng Xiang.
Inside was a wide hall, with hundreds of connected hosts stacked densely, and several staff members were anxiously setting up instruments to test the performance of the hosts. When they saw Grace coming in, they hurried over as if they had met a rescuer, and said with a fake smile: "Grace, thank you for coming to help us in person. In fact, you can just ask your subordinates to come. This is just a small matter, you don't need to do it yourself."
Grace snorted and said mercilessly: "I just came here to see how you have ruined my scientific research." She didn't even look at those people, turned to Meng Xiang and said: "Go and check it out, I'm going out for a cigarette." After that, she walked out of the main engine room.
As soon as Grace left, the staff members immediately changed their expressions and snorted, "What's so great about that? If you look down on us so much, why did you come back?"
