Du Yuqi said:
"central control room."
Jim said:
"That should be the way to the right."
Du Yuqi followed him, and not long after, he was blocked by a gate. This gate still seemed to be composed of three layers of composite doors. Jim spread his hands to express his helplessness. One of them can be opened, while the other two are fingerprint locks and combination locks, which is really powerless.
At this time, a door on the opposite side suddenly slid open slowly, and then a person in a white coat walked towards him, and when he saw Du Yuqi and Jim, his face suddenly showed joy and said:
"You guys came just in time. There is a big problem with the wiring in our laboratory, and we haven't sent anyone to fix it for two days! Come with me!"
Du Yuqi glanced at Jim, and Jim immediately understood and said helplessly:
"But, but the task we have received now is to repair the damaged unit over there! We will be punished when we go back!"
The white coat immediately said angrily:
"Who is your superior? Tell him that I, Dr. Malka, recruited you, and I am responsible for all problems. As for you, come with me and get that damn integrated circuit board for me, otherwise you will be killed." Don't even think about getting off work!"
Facing such a powerful doctor, Jim is helpless, unless Du Yuqi turns his face on the spot, otherwise he can only leave with him. But after thinking about it, if this doctor leads the way, wouldn't it be possible to enter some restricted areas smoothly? I will not say anything more.
Dr. Malka can see that he is also a cautious person. After contacting the headquarters and confirming the identities of Jim and Lear, he led them into the top-secret area inside. There was a fierce quarrel, and the old man's violent temper seemed to be well known in the upper echelon.
In the process of entering the top-secret area, he passed through the protection of the three-story composite door twice. Through the dialogue between Dr. Malka and the staff next to him, Du Yuqi also learned that this department can be said to be very withered.
Originally, the crystal block production department was the most important core department on the Iron Fortress, not one of them, but how could Kamocha and Yangzi put their minds on production after they came here? That is, the manpower of this department was repeatedly transferred away, and even some technicians were forced to do porters and other jobs. Now the remaining people can't even maintain the basic operation, and can only barely maintain the machine. Maintenance only.
However, even though Kamoka and Yangzi are insane, after they have achieved this step, they dare not squeeze this side anymore, and they dare not do anything to Dr. Malka, who has a violent temper, because they know that as long as this department can be kept intact If it is preserved, then no matter how badly the steel fortress is damaged, it is still a chicken that can lay golden eggs, and it can produce profits if it takes over the past.
In this case, if the matter is not done absolutely, then Agamemnon will not be completely mad. Of course, you have to count on Kamocha and Yangzi to pay more attention to this department, so don't think about it, and replace it with the normal operation of the Iron Fortress. At that time, Dr. Malka was under one person and above ten thousand people. Sometimes even the captain of the fortress would give in to him, not to mention the two small maintenance workers. I want to come over and help.
After entering the core area, Professor Malka directly threw a lot of work to the two of them, and then went to work on his own affairs. The environment here is completely different from the outside environment. There are shining liquid crystals everywhere on the walls. From time to time, there will be a large amount of data flowing through the screen, and the ground is also paved with crystal glass, which looks extraordinarily clean, bright and brand new.
The manpower here is very scarce. For a while, there are only three or five people in this huge laboratory of thousands of square meters, including Du Yuqi and Jim. It is so quiet that it can scare ants to death. Some dumbfounding feeling.
At this time, of course, Du Yuqi didn't have to work anymore, all the work was left to Jim, and he was looking around, looking around, looking around for repairs, but in fact he was collecting all kinds of things. The core information, until Du Yuqi saw a sketch on a desk, he was immediately stunned.
It turned out that although this sketch was hand-painted, with a few strokes rather scribbled, it still looked quite vivid. It was impressive that the drawn steel fortress stayed on the ground, but it stayed on the ground After going up, a long drilling column pierced downwards, so its shape looks like a thumbtack at first glance, but it's really hard to find if you don't look carefully.
On this sketch, there should be a damaged drill string, and there are a few scrawled words beside it, which probably means that there is a problem with the drill bit.
Seeing this scene, Du Yuqi suddenly remembered that the first time the clown appeared on the stage, it was drilled out of a huge underground drilling machine. It can be seen that this mysterious organization has also reached a very high level of underground drilling skills.
After seeing this sketch, Du Yuqi suddenly became cheerful as if he found a thread from a mess, and then he discovered a strange thing, that is, the internal sticky notes and supplies used by these staff There is actually a clear "ZERO" watermark on it! ! It seems that the internal code name of this mysterious organization is ZERO.
Next, Du Yuqi found relevant information, which was the method of crystal production. After learning about this process, Du Yuqi was so shocked that he couldn't speak!
It turns out that the process of producing crystals is similar to mining oil. First, it is necessary to explore the existence of underground crystal fields. After finding out the reserves of the crystal fields, the steel base is dispatched to fly over. mined out.
However, the crystal source liquid does not exist underground, and there are different opinions on how this magical substance was produced. The principle is very complicated. After Du Yuqi found some information, he roughly understood the principle of mining.
It turns out that pus will flow out after a person is injured, and the crystal source fluid is equivalent to the existence of pus, which does not exist in the normal human body. And in the depths of the Arad Continent, there is a strange rock formation called a three-phase rock formation.
Once the extracted catalyst is injected into the three-phase rock formation, a strange reaction will occur, and the crystal source liquid will be generated quickly, and then it can be collected and used. Usually, the organization's internal exploration of the reserves of the crystal field is based on It is judged by the size and direction of the local three-phase rock formation.
However, in the process of mining, very strong pollution will be caused. Even after the mining is completed, this pollution will continue for many years, and the damage is extremely serious.
This kind of feeling makes Du Yuqi quite bad, maybe it is because of professional habits. This mining method reminds him of the cruel behavior of live bears taking bile, and when Du Yuqi first entered the Arad continent, what he saw The crazy tauren and crazy goblins are caused by long-term pollution during the mining process!
The crystal source liquid that has just been mined is actually very poor in appearance. It is black and viscous, and has a strong strange smell. It is also highly polluting, similar to the mined crude oil, and needs to go through a series of complicated After processing, it will become clean and harmless, and look crystal clear and cute.
The original intention of the design of the Steel Fortress is to aim at "extreme production capacity", reduce consumption as much as possible, and increase the time spent mining outside, so the power system of the Steel Fortress is directly designed to use "crystal source liquid" as the main form of fuel.
In normal times, there is no need to replenish fuel at all. Once the fuel is scarce, you only need to add a small amount of catalyst to use your own "crystal source liquid" as a steady stream of fuel, even if it is the "crystal source liquid" you carry. If the "source liquid" is insufficient, then emergency mining can be successful in finding a place with crystal fields.
At the same time, the ZERO organization also noticed this kind of pollution caused in the production process, but what they considered was not how to reduce or alleviate the pollution at all, but regarded this pollution as a very rare resource to develop various What kind of weapons are used against the enemy.
For example, the highly toxic cat demon family suffered a devastating blow because of this pollutant. At that time, the goods transported by the Xuzu Demon Squad were also raw materials with very strong pollution power. The hostile organization has hired the strong to come and raid and destroy it!
…
After understanding so many secrets, many questions in Du Yuqi's mind were finally initially answered. He then discovered that most of the areas in the steel fortress are actually used for mining services. The largest area is the drilling area that can penetrate more than 5,000 meters underground, followed by the refining area, and then the warehouse area. These three major areas occupy a full 50% of the entire steel fortress, so to be precise, this is just a production-based base.
However, Du Yuqi also noticed that the full name of this steel fortress is "Akturus Integrated Flying War Platform". It is a truth that these manufacturers can produce a large number of tanks again as long as they make minor changes.
After getting the information he wanted, Du Yuqi was unwilling to stay here to waste time. When he was trying to figure out how to leave, suddenly a series of angry curses came from his ear:
"Renze, you idiot! You are an out-and-out idiot!! Who asked you to pour me hot milk? What I want is black coffee! Black coffee so strong that the devil's eyeballs will come out bitter, I know your mind is a mess, but has it deteriorated to the point that you can't even understand what I say?"
