Chapter 1198 Stirring a Hornet's Nest
Jin Di knocked on the hard alloy shell, pointed at the front-end structure and said: "Look, according to my analysis, its front-end structure is obviously designed to facilitate the rapid crushing of soil and rocks, as well as the two sides of the The 'mouthparts' are clearly used to crush large ores - so this construct was actually made by our ancestors for mining."
Having said this, Jin Di looked at Dinger with a mocking look on his face and said, "A certain idiot actually thought this was a guard robot left by our ancestors? That's so stupid! Is this worthy of being the captain of an archaeological team? It seems that Green There really aren’t many talents on the Pitbull side.”
"Asshole! You said it's a construct used for mining and that's it? Where's the evidence?"
"Evidence? You'll see the evidence later."
Jindi pouted. Although they wanted to dismantle the mining robot and study it now, there might be more important discoveries ahead, so they threw the mining robot here first - it couldn't run away anyway. If nothing was discovered earlier, it makes no difference to study it later.
The team continued deep into the collapsed mine. After a while, they came to an underground cave that was mined out, and then stopped at the wall on one side of the cave.
"This is it! It must be here!"
Dingge looked at the wall in front of him. There was a twisted crack on the wall. Judging from the shape and material on both sides of the crack, it should have been cracked by the impact of the legendary magic star falling. The ruins that were originally sealed inside were therefore And exposed.
He looked at the scroll in his hand. The crack image drawn on the scroll under the firelight was the same as the one in front of him. This was the passage that was exposed after the battle.
"Don't go in yet! Let me try."
Lockma threw a torch in, and after the torch flew in and landed, only a small dot remained. The gap between the front and back of the crack was about tens of meters, but the earth and gravel in the collapsed tunnel poured out from the crack. Once inside, a slope was formed, which saved a lot of effort.
In the dark ruins, the light from the torch illuminated the surroundings. Everyone could vaguely see something, but they couldn't see clearly what it was because it was too far away.
Tang En, who was standing behind, raised his eyebrows. The people of Purandal had also discovered the existence of "air" during their exploration. They knew that people would suffocate and die in a closed space - but what exactly caused the suffocation? They It hasn't been studied yet.
But then again, due to the existence of the four series of elements, in addition to the combustion reaction of the substance combining with oxygen, there is also the form of the fire element burning itself to release heat. The two methods coexist at the same time, which is very puzzling.
"The torch is not extinguished, you can continue walking."
Rockma waved his hand and stepped into the crack first, then held a torch and slid down the slope. Everyone watched helplessly as his figure became smaller and smaller, and finally the whole person disappeared into the darkness, leaving only the swaying The light of the torch flickered in the darkness.
After waiting for a long time and not hearing Lockma's response, everyone above couldn't help shouting: "Captain, how is the situation below?"
"..."
Lockma, who was at the bottom of the pit, looked at the mechanical structure in front of him, his whole body trembling: "...don't come down..."
"What?"
"I said - don't come down!!!"
Lockma roared wildly and rushed back instantly: "Escape quickly! There are all the monsters in here!"
"What!?"
Everyone was startled, and then they saw dots of red light suddenly light up in the dark cave, and the sound of raw metal friction slowly sounded, as if equipment that had not been maintained for a long time finally started to move again. A slightly stiff mechanical sound sounded in the cave.
"It's ancient! It says 'system restart'!"
Jindi was extremely excited and helped everyone translate the sounds, while also quickly recording the sounds in the cave.
"...Failed to synchronize satellite network link...Failed to synchronize time...Failed to load task list...Retry connection has timed out...Connection resetting...Failed to connect..."
"...the offline local system is starting up...restarting completed...self-test started...energy system self-test passed...remaining energy 12%...energy system is starting to charge and is expected to be fully charged in 36 seconds..." Self-balancing system error, gyroscope calibration failed... The mining function module passed the test... The ore screening and smelting module failed... The furnace temperature was abnormal... The self-maintenance system failed to start... The repair module is damaged... Warning, it is recommended to stop running immediately, Waiting for engineer rescue...emergency rescue message has been sent...no shutdown order received..."
The red light below was getting brighter and brighter. Rockma ran all the way. When he rushed up, he saw Jindi and Dingge still recording the sounds below with gleaming eyes. He immediately shouted at them: "Why don't you leave quickly!? Do you want to die!?"
Just one construct made him so embarrassed. There are at least ten or twenty constructs below. How could they win?
"Don't leave! I hired you to protect us in this situation!"
Ding Ge was so excited at this moment that he even forgot about his grudge against Jin Di. He hugged Jin Di tightly and shook him: "Hurry and write it down! The pronunciations of these ancient languages are precious information! "
"No need for you to talk nonsense! I'm already doing it!"
Looking at the two dwarves who had completely forgotten the danger, Lockma suddenly understood why so many of his colleagues in the past were no longer willing to accept employment from goblins after working with them once.
Once these guys get excited, they don't even know how to write the word "death"!
Their duty is to protect their employer, but it does not include going to death!
And now this is a situation where death is inevitable!
"Damn it! If I had known better, I wouldn't have accepted this mission!"
Lockma cursed secretly. Although he was promoted to the Grandmaster level because of this mission, if he died here, all this would be meaningless.
"Woo——"
Suddenly there was a strong buzzing sound in the cave, and a stream of hot steam spewed out from the cracks.
Immediately afterwards, another sharp alarm sounded in the cave: "Warning, unauthorized units were found in the mining area... Vital signature identification failed... Non-protected units, local authorization passed, free attack allowed - eliminate intruders!"
Damn it!
Tang En was stunned to find that those mining robots actually had their own friend-or-foe identification function. After discovering that they did not match the signature database, they immediately launched an attack!
"It turns out that when the temperature of the furnace rises, they will automatically release the pressure to protect the normal internal structure! As expected of our ancestors!"
Although they were screamed by the hot air, Jindi, Dingge and the other dwarfs became even more excited.
There was a loud "rumbling" sound, and the dark cave wall suddenly collapsed. More than a dozen mining robots rushed out from the ruins below and pounced directly on them!
Ding Ge shouted while retreating: "Lokma! Take your people and kill them - but be careful not to damage them! These things are treasures from ten thousand years ago! They are more valuable than all of you combined!"
"I'll do it, your mother!"
Even if Rockmar, a strong man with a straightforward personality, couldn't help but scold her now, kill them? What else can't be damaged? You're kidding me! ?
"Now it's not a question of whether they will be damaged, or whether we can survive the fight, but a question of whether we can survive!"
Lockma looked at the mining robot that rushed towards him with a look of collapse on his face. Why did he end up with such a stupid employer?
"Cover each other and retreat! Be careful on the flanks, you may be attacked!"
The mining robot was playing "Protect the Mine" in a loop while quickly approaching the archaeological team. The crusher in its mouth had been activated, and the rotating grinding wheel and stone crusher looked terrifying.
The mining robot at the front collided hard, and with a loud "boom", Rockma was thrown to the wall by the huge force, and his internal organs were paralyzed by the shock.
What a powerful force!
Tang En sprayed the healing wave in time, and Rockma breathed a sigh of relief, struggled and jumped down, shouting: "Dinge! Light up this place!"
"knew!"
Dingge took out a bag with a pained expression and handed it to the ranger next to him. The ranger took out a fist-sized light crystal from the bag, tied it to an arrow, and shot it directly to the top of the cave!
After being inspired by the magic power, the light of the light crystal illuminated the entire cave, and everyone was finally able to see the full picture of the mining robot.
These mining robots are about thirty meters long and five or six meters wide. The sides of the body are equipped with many mechanical legs for easy movement. The front end is a huge entrance for swallowing soil ore. The body should be a smelting furnace for screening. After completion, the ore is directly smelted in the first step, which can remove at least 99% of the impurities. This is also a way to reduce transportation weight and improve efficiency.
The shells of these mining robots are so scarred that the original paint color can no longer be seen, leaving only a silver-white alloy background.
If Tang En were to say it, this mining robot looked like a giant centipede, with its densely packed mechanical legs constantly squirming. Even if it was a mechanical structure, it still made people's scalp numb.
Tang En was giving everyone present a magic aura and was thinking about countermeasures quickly.
Now Rockmar and the others will definitely not be able to deal with these mining robots... In other words, if they don't want to see them die here, they must take action!
Thinking of this, Tang En planned to take action, but at this moment, a deafening cracking sound suddenly sounded in his ears, and the mine above his head suddenly shook violently. The cave that had just been illuminated by light crystals suddenly A ray of sunlight shot in, and a figure bathed in golden sunlight appeared in front of everyone...
Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared, Tang En was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became excited!
Eggwin! ?
This is simply a God-given opportunity!
