Chapter 949 Entering the Inner City

It seems... the person who tore up those two pages of files probably didn't want those experimental data to fall into the hands of the mastermind.

However, it doesn't mean that everything will be safe... As a member of the experiment, even without those data, Xia can still copy the previous experiment process by relying on his own memory... What's more, the whole experiment The most critical element among them—Qin, is now in their hands.

Qi Lin rolled up this top-secret file and stuffed it into his close-fitting pocket. He really wanted to read this experiment report carefully, but time did not allow it... Once the two officers and Scott His body was discovered, and the entire Fort Yukon base would be put under a high degree of martial law. At that time, Qi Lin wanted to enter the underground laboratory again, and the difficulty might not be at the same level as it is now.

Although it is also difficult to sneak in now...

After rummaging through the files in these large wooden boxes, Qi Lin finally found the design drawing of the underground shelter that was eaten by bugs in the corner of the box. It's one o'clock.

If the time limit is calculated according to four o'clock in the morning, Qi Lin still has five hours at most.

The nuclear shelter located under the base of Fort Yukon is a standard large-scale shelter, with a total of 16 floors, the deepest floor is located 185 meters underground, with a total area of ​​more than 1,000 square kilometers, which is larger than the five in Washington DC, the political center of the United States. times more.

Although this large shelter was originally intended to accommodate the US troops stationed in Alaska, it was not the US government that undertook the construction of this large shelter, but the PROM Foundation—it was for this reason that the various subsequent changes Foreshadowing was laid.

Although Qi Lin didn't know how the American soldiers in the refuge were driven to the surface by the mastermind and became "human radiation purifiers", but during the period when the Fort Yukon refuge was completed, the Foundation and the mastermind They were still in the "honeymoon period"... At that time, the main brain had just been successfully developed, and the foundation did not foresee the consequences of the awakening of the advanced artificial intelligence's self-awareness. At that time, every member of the foundation One is almost immersed in the joy of the mastermind's completion - with the mastermind, the survival of human beings in the wasteland is guaranteed.

There is nothing wrong with this sentence. Indeed, if there is no mastermind, many of the shelters in the world will not be able to function normally, and the number of people who can survive will be very small...

And in this Fort Yukon refuge, there is a "replica body" of the main brain.

The data that the main brain needs to process at all times is very huge. If the main brain itself alone is relied on, no matter how powerful its computing power is, it cannot process and respond to every request in detail. This is like playing an online game, the server will only transfer packets with the client, and most of the computing work will be done locally on the client.

But the control system of the shelter is different, relying solely on the local computer, it is impossible to synchronize and coordinate with the entire shelter network, plus the cost of information transmission... Under the combined effect of these reasons, people thought of a compromise in the method.

That is to build several "replicas" of the mastermind around the world, and most of the data with lower importance and priority are processed by these replicas, and the mastermind itself only needs to authorize and review the replicas. That's it, a lot of occupied computing power has been released.

If this sounds difficult to understand, let’s also use online games as a metaphor. The “replicas” of these masterminds are like “server rooms” built in different regions, and if they are embodied in the game, they become The division of each region - such as "Shanghai District 1", "Hong Kong District 2", or the name of the communication service provider: "Telecom District 1", "Netcom District 1"...

The same is true for the replicas of the main brain. Each replica is responsible for controlling an area, such as the replica in the depths of the ice sea in Greenland, which is responsible for controlling Western Europe; the replica of Leshan is responsible for controlling China and most of Southeast Asia... and this The station is a replica located underground in Fort Yukon, and its control area includes the entire Alaska, a small half of Siberia, and almost the entire Canadian region.

The main brain has absolute control over these replicas, and at critical moments, it can even transfer any replica into a new body through data transfer.

In the underground shelter of Fort Yukon, the clone of the mastermind alone occupies four floors in total from the eleventh floor to the fourteenth floor. As for the bottom fifteenth floor and the sixteenth floor, The first floor is an isolation layer filled with a large amount of thermal insulation material, and the first floor is a fully automated large-scale geothermal energy conversion station, which provides a steady stream of energy for the shelter by collecting geothermal energy deep underground.

As for the underground laboratory, it is located on the negative fourth floor, occupying the entire space of the first floor.

As for the minus one, minus two and minus three floors above the laboratory, they are the barracks, the residential area and the material warehouse respectively.

There are more than thirty entrances to the underground refuge, half of which are located outside the Fort Yukon base—these entrances must have been sealed by the mastermind, and the rest of the Fort Yukon base In the inner city, it is estimated that only four entrances in the inner city are active.

"The inner city... hiss... the degree of defense is much tighter than the outer city..."

The place where the carrion bird fell is located in the inner city, and Qi Lin also slipped out of the inner city. The defense force and patrol density in the inner city are definitely not comparable to the outer city. The soldiers stationed in the inner city There is not even entertainment time at night, except for eating, sleeping and going to the toilet, all other time is on duty.

Moreover, the officers of the inner city army are much more difficult to deal with than the officers of the outer city army. He almost discovered Qi Lin's existence just by the officer who dealt with the fall of the carrion bird during the day.

Compared with the design drawing of the underground shelter that Qi Lin had been looking for for a long time, the map of Fort Yukon base was much easier to find - this thing was hung on the most conspicuous place on the wall... It just made Qi Lin a little speechless Yes, on such a map, only the regional structure of the outer city of Fort Yukon base is marked, as for the inner city part, it is completely blank...

Qi Lin thought of a possibility. The map of the inner city area may only be found in the inner city. The map on the wall is only available to troops who have permission to station in the outer city.

Qi Lin took the map off the wall and stuffed it into his pocket, then dragged the corpses of the two guards outside into the archive room, stuffed them into the corner, and blocked two large wooden boxes in front of the corpses.

This is not over yet, behind the big wooden box, Qi Lin set up a small trap - if someone pushes or moves the two big wooden boxes, the taut trip wire will directly block the two powerful defenses. The pull ring of the grenade was pulled off, and the detonation time of these two grenades was set to 0.5 seconds. After being triggered, the triggerer only had a very short time to react.

In addition to these two grenades, Qi Lin also left an incendiary bomb filled with napalm. After the grenade trap is triggered, the incendiary bomb will completely reduce the entire file room to ashes, erasing all clues .

After doing all this, Qi Lin left the archives room and walked towards the inner city.

Since he had the experience of getting out of the inner city, it wasn't too difficult for Qi Lin to get in again, but just after he climbed over the wall separating the inner and outer city, he fell into a somewhat embarrassing situation. situation—he was lost.

Before being able to get out of the inner city, luck also played a large part of the factor, but now, facing the numerous forks and streets in the inner city, Qi Lin has no idea which direction to go, and those four passages Where is the entrance to the underground?

The exit position marked on the design drawing of the shelter was of no help to Qi Lin, because Qi Lin could not find a reference object for comparison, and when this design drawing was drawn, there was not even a foundation for Fort Yukon. It doesn't exist yet... The situation on the ground now is completely different from a few years ago. The only thing that can be used as an accurate reference... is the latitude and longitude data of the entrance location.

However, Qi Lin's GPS device was damaged when he escaped from the submarine prison, so he had to give up the idea of ​​relying on latitude and longitude data to find the entrance.

After much thought... Qi Lin could only take a very time-consuming, but the safest and safest exploration method at the moment - find a hidden place to hide, wait until a patrolling soldier passes by The target is attached to the opponent's body, using the opponent's eyes to explore the surrounding area clearly, and at the same time find out the guard's patrol law.

There will definitely be more guards at the entrance, and the patrols will be more intensive. With this clue, Qi Lin can follow the clues to find the location of the entrance.

Moreover, it would be even better if some additional information could be obtained through conversations between guards.

It's just that the mind beacon has a maximum distance limit. According to Qi Lin's upper limit of ability, the farthest working distance is about 500 meters. That is to say, a mind beacon can only help him explore a piece of land with a radius of 500 meters area, and before entering the next unknown area, he had to repeat the previous set of procedures again.

Of course, 500 meters is still an idealized figure. In fact, the guards can patrol back and forth at a distance of 200 meters at most before they are exhausted. Qi Lin can only slowly advance in units of 200 meters...

This process is undoubtedly extremely tormented, but he has to do it.

There is no response, no backup, and no information, everything can only be relied on by himself.

There is a copy of the main brain here, and there are tens of thousands of garrison troops. Among them, there must be no shortage of high-level evolutionaries. It is no exaggeration to describe this place as a dragon's pool and a tiger's den.

In the eyes of anyone who has studied some military theory, Qi Lin's actions are no different from seeking his own death.

...

The attachment target of the mind beacon has been changed to three, but Qi Lin has only advanced a distance of less than 400 meters - the fact is more cruel than imagined, yes, the patrol distance of a soldier is almost 200 meters, But the two hundred meters are not necessarily a straight-line distance. The range that Qi Lin can detect through a single soldier is very limited, and it is only three hours before four o'clock in the morning.

And Qi Lin's idea of ​​obtaining information through conversations between soldiers has also been shattered-these inner city soldiers will not chat at all during the patrol process, and only after the handover will there be a little bit of necessary information. communication...

From this little communication, the only thing Qi Lin can know is that their guard changing time is every six hours.

But this thing is meaningless to Qi Lin now, let alone six hours, when Scott's teammates or superiors find out that he did not return to the barracks on time at four o'clock in the morning, it will be too late up.

"Go faster...go faster, turn left...turn left...turn left, don't turn around!" Qi Lin felt as if he was on patrol through the shared vision of the mind beacon holder. However, that body is not controlled by his will, although he can see what the other party sees, hear what the other party hears, and even feel the cold wind blowing on his face clearly. But he is always just a bystander, a bystander who can do nothing...

At this moment, Qi Lin suddenly felt that a confinement in his mind seemed to be broken by his thoughts, and a clear and broken sound echoed in his mind, and at the same time, a An invisible spiritual passivity emanated from him, and went straight to the soldier who was attached to the mind beacon.

The patrol team had already reached the edge of the lot they were in charge of, and was about to turn around and return, but one of the soldiers was suddenly taken aback, and whispered to his teammates: "Suddenly my stomach hurts, and I want to go to the toilet."

"Stomach pain?" His teammate turned around and looked at him with some puzzlement, "We are on duty now, why didn't you deal with this kind of thing when you took the rotation just now?"

"I went to the bathroom during my rotation break, but now it suddenly hurts like hell... I don't know why, maybe it hurt my stomach?"

"Have you had a bad stomach? We all ate the same food at night, why are we all right?" Another soldier stared at him strangely.

"I don't know... Really... I can't hold it anymore, if I don't go, I'm afraid I'll be pulled in my crotch..." The soldier bent slightly, his hands tightly covering his lower abdomen, his face flushed red.

"Okay, okay, shit, lazy people have a lot of shit, hurry up and come back, I don't want to patrol with a guy with shit in his crotch!"

"You move quickly, we will help you watch...Of course, if the officer finds out, you can wish for luck!"

"Thank you guys!" The soldier waved his hand, clutched his stomach and ran out, turned left into a fork in the road.

And Qi Lin, who was hiding in the dark, was completely sluggish... To be honest, he didn't do anything, he didn't even use his mental power to order the soldier to turn left (of course, Qi Lin didn't have this ability), but the opponent It happened at this time that my stomach hurt, and the nearest toilet was right next to the fork in the road.

Is this due to luck? ... No, no, Qi Lin obviously felt that he seemed to send an invisible mental wave towards the other party. This sudden "stomach pain" must have something to do with him.

The soldier just ran to the door of the toilet, but at this moment, he suddenly felt no pain in his stomach, and a situation similar to "fragments" appeared in his head. He couldn't remember at all what happened in his head a minute ago. What on earth was he thinking, he looked around in a daze, and then started to walk back full of doubts, while walking, he muttered in a low voice: "Strange, how could I run to this place?" Come here...?"
