As the distance gets closer, you can see the tips of the densely packed chimneys in the distance, spewing out smoke very crisply, and even occasionally red flames will emerge from the top of the chimneys. The hundreds of clouds of smoke and dust gathered together, like a giant gray snake, meandering into the distance in the sky.
There is no doubt that this typically eighteenth-century British spectacle in the style of heavy industrial pollution is where the Hell's Gate base is located. To extract the Pandora crystals from the ore, one has to go through a series of extremely complicated processes. With this iconic road sign, a group of people don't need to worry about getting lost. They quickly rushed past the deafening sound of mechanical engines and motors, and saw a grass-green giant machine at least 100 meters high. Working in the mine.
This is the largest digging machine ever invented by mankind: Bucket Wheel Excavator. It has a giant toothed wheel with a length of two kilometers and a height of 20 meters. It can grip the rock face as if it is chewing on the rock face. It can easily crush plants, wood, and even rocks. It looks like a small mountain-like mechanical giant moving slowly. Behind it, there will be a deep ravine with a depth of 50 meters and a width of 100 meters.
On the outlet port on the side of this grass-green mechanical behemoth, there is a long line of hell monster trucks with camouflage colors. The back of this truck is completely composed of huge open-air carriages carrying the initial processing materials of Pandora ore. It looks sturdy and durable, and the cab is compressed into a space the size of a telephone booth on the left side of the front of the car.
Although they are quite small compared to bucket wheel excavators, once you get close to this monster truck, you will find that its strong and huge wheels alone are as tall as two adults, which ensures that it It can easily pass through Pandora's thick deep soil plow brush and rocky terrain, and can resist the threats of Pandora's various creatures. The two-meter-long sporadic arrows deeply inserted into these tires fully demonstrated the reliability of these tires.
If you get closer, you can see that even the hell truck is equipped with armor, which can withstand the shooting of light weapons, but larger and sharper objects or heavy fire should be able to penetrate its armor.
It can be seen from this that, at least for now, the Na'vi in Omaticaya are still quite civilized, and it seems that their method of protest is only to shoot arrows at the tires instead of shooting arrows at the tires. The arrows began to aim at the members of the cab.
Mogansha, the black buddy, is quite sociable. After the team stepped onto the dirt road built for the hell truck, he spotted a rumbling hell truck, and grabbed the side of the cab with one stride. The hanging ladder climbed up. The driver is also a big-eyed black girl, who looks very similar to Xie Wa, the heroine of Resident Evil 5. She turned her head and cast a puzzled look over her. The black buddies knocked on the window of the driver's cab very familiarly, and threw a piece of chewing gum in:
"Hey beauty, I know you will give me a ride, after three hours and eleven minutes of trekking through the damn jungle, you and your car are absolutely cuter than angels in my eyes .”
What is surprising is that the black buddies were not rejected. Maybe it was really the sexy thick lips that he kept boasting about. He got into the car triumphantly and then sat in the passenger seat and waved to Sheyan and the others. , and then disappeared behind the corner cliff with the smoke from the exhaust of the hell truck.
Since he was the example, many contractors followed suit, but Fang Sheyan, who had limited charm, wisely did not touch the wall, but directly climbed onto the cabin of a hell truck to exchange ore with him. for company.
Because of the low gravity of Pandora, the hell trucks are also driving fast on temporary dirt roads. At this time, the hell base has begun to take shape, and you can see the tall reinforced concrete permanent sentry tower in the distance, and the black hole cannon on it can tear up any disturbing factors on the ground or in the air. All the contractors at the gate of the base were inspected loosely, and they seemed to be doing routine work to avoid bringing certain unknown infectious diseases into the base.
The Gate of Hell base looks like an irregular square from the air, with a total area of 15.4 square kilometers. The safety of the internal personnel is ensured by a tall and solid fence with a length of 3.9333 kilometers. Of course, there are various automatic machine gun towers on the fence. , there is a permanent sentry tower every 50 meters, and there are people on duty 24 hours a day. Fang Senyan made a visual inspection during the queue, and he can basically confirm that the material of the wall is about three meters thick reinforced concrete.
It can be seen from the bloodstains and bullet holes around the wall that in addition to machine guns, the towers of the wall are also equipped with ground-to-air automatic heavy weapons to deal with unfriendly wild creatures on Pandora. In addition, every 50 There are also small towers to eliminate the invasion of some small creatures. Outside the fence, a 30-meter-wide open field was regularly and automatically cleaned by machines, and deep ditches were dug and densely covered with mines to prevent the invasion of certain Pandora creatures that can dig.
When the contractor's foot stepped on the ground of the Hell's Gate base, the nightmare mark finally gave a hint:
"You have successfully reached the base of Hell's Gate."
"Warning: Using violence in Hell's Gate base is a very dangerous thing, it is best not to do it, please remember every word above."
"You have gained the trust of the follow-up battlefield side mission: the gate of hell."
"Mission objective: within seventy-two hours, raise your reputation in the RDA base to respect." (Your current reputation is: neutral. The reputation is in order of neutrality, friendliness, respect, reverence, worship)
"Reminder: In the side missions of the battlefield, if you use props that can quickly increase your reputation, then its effect will be weakened by 50%"
"Reminder: The top three contractors who complete this mission ahead of schedule will all receive additional rewards."
"Warning: If this mission fails, 8 merit points will be deducted!"
"Warning: If you refuse this task, you will return immediately after receiving a certain reward."
"Do you want to accept this task: yes/no?"
When he arrived inside the base, Sheyan was very pleased to find that the base was tight on the outside and loose on the inside. After all, once a crime is committed in this place, there is no place to escape. The perimeter is heavily guarded, and there are soldiers on guard for 25 hours (a day on Pandora). They should be monitoring those dangerous creatures that may cross the wall or penetrate into the ground. But the inside is very loose - that is to say, if Fang Sheyan has no choice but to sneak into a certain laboratory and do bad things to a certain experimental subject, the chance of escaping is quite high.
At this time, the internal construction of the base had begun to take shape. Not far away, several school officers with the style of typical American soldiers were already yelling loudly, asking them to gather in the past. Sheyan immediately recognized the crew-cut Colonel Miles Kwach. The three clear scars on the right side of his head had successfully betrayed his identity.
At this moment, Fang Senyan even maliciously speculated that after killing him, most of them would drop the "Mecha Pilot Advanced Mastery Scroll LV7". There is no doubt that in that battle, he even completely overwhelmed the heroine who was riding a seventh-order legendary creature, the Death God Beast. In the end, the hero and heroine had to work together to kill it.
After everyone stood with their feet apart, straightened their waists and stood in a slumped military posture, the colonel did not speak, but looked at everyone with his sharp raptor-like eyes, as if saying X It seemed like it was scanning everyone, but after two minutes, he said:
"Perhaps I should call my old friend on the StartupStar and praise him for being efficient this time around and sending us enough manpower - now my only question is: don't know if you are what we need urgently Great lad!"
Having said that, the colonel paused, walked back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said:
"Only those who obey orders and work hard will get high salaries, benefits and my favor. Listen, if any of you are a fan of Grace Augustine's peace-chattering bitch, Then I will generously give you thirty seconds to disappear from my presence."
"It turns out that we need to choose a side now." Fang Sheyan said in his heart.
Obviously, although the entire Gate of Hell is almost completely controlled by the RDA Corporation, it is divided into two distinct factions: one is led by Dr. Grace Augustin, the advocate and host of the Avatar Project, and the other is At that time, she had been on this planet for ten years, and most of them were scientific researchers. The other faction is the hawks headed by Colonel Miles Quach. They think that bullets, high explosives and fighter jets can solve all troubles.
At this time, Yuan Zhan stood up first, and bowed slightly to Colonel Miles Kwach:
"Mr. Colonel, although I may resent you by saying this, my heart and conscience tell me that I should protect this beautiful planet while digging out underground wealth, instead of destroying it at all costs, if you don't mind , can you tell me where I can find Dr. Grace Augustine?"
