Chapter 1240 Cost-effective
As soon as he "followed up, he was not far ahead." Zhao Mai looked down at the navigation map on his phone. He had already adjusted the scaling ratio to the maximum, and there was only a few small short dotted lines between him and the destination, which was only a dozen meters away. In this way, as long as he walked through the room on the other side of the corridor, he would almost arrive.
There are many rooms inside the fortress, with a large number of collections, but there are not many staff members. Along the way, Zhao Mai only saw some wheeled robots coming and going for cleaning and patrol, and living creatures can count them with one hand. They are all wearing isolation suits and appear very careful when walking. Zhao Mai estimated that the development of this habit should be related to the dense monitoring around, and there must be a strict boss who likes to watch the screen.
Putting the distracting thoughts aside, Zhao Mai reached out and touched the wall, preparing to pull it away on both sides. "Hey, this wall is a bit strange, and it is definitely not a whole lot from the previous ones. Uh... it's so tight that there is no gap? What is this, is it a wall made by neutrons?"
There was once a department-level water drop detector called a water drop detector that tightly compacts protons and neutrons with strong interactions and arranges them into a single layer of material. It is extremely strong. At the same time, because there is no molecular activity on the surface, it can be insulated and it can be kept at absolute zero. The one in front of Zhao Mai goes a step further, at least not with protons, but with neutrons without electrical characteristics.
It would be great if Diana was here, and her Fire God Sword could cut open this kind of wall. For this substance that is all made of neutrons, alchemy cannot change them into water or air. Zhao Mai's fingers cannot be inserted into the gap between neutrons. Although Zhao Mai can punch the wall directly, he will not repair it, and maybe it will trigger an alarm. Fortunately, there is no way out, and there will always be solutions.
"Let's go find where the door is." Shattered, Zhao Mai led his group down the corridor, trying to find the entrance to the room. He kept passing through the walls all the way until he walked on the serious road, and then he saw the nameplate of the room. "107 to be destroyed?" Zhao Mai scratched his head, not understanding why he used expensive time stagnation technology to preserve the things to be destroyed. If he did the same thing, he would either throw it on the sun or hand it over to the refining room of Zworms to recycle it, how convenient it would be! And he had seen that many things inside only needed to be burned to ashes and there was no need to be destroyed.
The opposite of "107 to be destroyed" is Medusa's destination, at least the address given by the navigation is here. Looking at the "egg bin" written on the door sign, the possibility of intelligence errors is greatly reduced. A solid password door blocked them. It seems that at least four detection and decryption mechanisms were combined on the door. Zhao Mai never did anything about cracking passwords or prying locks. He squinted his eyes and observed carefully along the door frame, and found the transition between the door body and the wall. Although there were many physical knowledge that Zhao Mai didn't understand, the door shaft was still the door shaft, just like the Zerg old man was still the old man. Zhao Mai pulled it hard and pulled the entire door and the door frame directly out.
"Theoretically, the door is still with the door frame, so it is not called opening the door. At most... it is called a big hole." Zhao Mai made a call: "Ladies are preferred."
Before Medusa rushed in, Alextasa went in first. This "egg silo" was still in thousands of time stagnant, and each one was an egg. With the magical ability of "judging the quality of gold coins with the naked eye", Alextasa found the dragon egg at the first time. She shouted: "Boss, boss, there are so many eggs here, so many!"
"We are not here to rob, don't think about packing and taking it away." Zhao Mai was also a little dizzy when he saw the eggs in the warehouse. "Who kept this eggs? Does he want to copy the entire race? Forget it, no matter what the perverted thoughts are. Alextasa, I can turn back and ask you what the eggs are, and then buy them for you. What do you think?"
Red Dragon nodded, and there were tears in her eyes. The reserve grain shook its tail and ran to her wife, pulling her trouser legs, reminding her that she still has a serious job of isolating the "female creatures". Unexpectedly, Alextasa hugged the reserve grain and cried: "Wow... I had known that there were so many eggs, why did I have to work so hard to lay eggs!!!"
The reserved grain was exposed from the dragon girl's fair arms, and she stuck out her tongue with her mouth slanted, which was obviously a complaining expression. Zhao Mai scratched her head and asked in confusion: "Wait, the dragon eggs I found from elsewhere are OK? I thought you wanted to reshape the dragon clan by your own strength!"
"I thought so at first, but that was so tired..." Alextasa's face was flushed and she was happy, shy, and angry. "Aliang and I decided after discussing it, that as long as it is a dragon egg, we would not choose whether it is a biological child. It is a success to be able to turn into a dragon. But, boss, you can use the dragon egg transformed from z insect cells, I'm afraid that the character of stomatoid fissure will appear after it is born."
"Don't dislike the fangs so much, what a happy creature!" Zhao Mai curled his lips and turned his gaze back to the static cabinet. This place is not "to be destroyed", so there are detailed species classification instructions next to the cabinet door. Although I don't know what Medusa's eggs look like, at least I can find out all Medusa eggs first.
The two beautiful snakes were so anxious that they kept wearing sunglasses to prevent petrified light from hurting others by mistake. They could hardly see anything in this dim room without turning on the light. Zhao Mai asked them to rest assured, their bodies trembled, and countless small flying insects like dust mites were separated, and began to exhaust the goods here. Soon, they found more than a dozen Medusa eggs adjacent to them, and Zhao Mai took everyone over.
"This is ours, I still remember the pattern on it!" The two Medusa determined the target in unison. It was about the size of a goose egg, and the pattern of three hexagonal stars on the blue eggshell was indeed very easy to recognize.
Zhao Mai didn't care about this, just looked at the phone navigation, and then said to the two Medusa: "Look, the current location shows that I have completed the first phase of work, and now it is the second phase, so you have to confirm this."
"Well, thank you. We really didn't expect it to be so smooth. This is the gold coin of fate, you can take it." Medusa took out the gold coin from the snake's hair and placed it solemnly on Zhao Maialextasa's palm. "You have to ask you to take us out safely from here."
"Well, that's right. But you have to find a way to get the eggs out of my service, because this is not within my service. Moreover, now I am just a driver, at most, and I'm not a thief." Zhao Mai added for the sake of the fate gold coins: "The time stagnant cabinets here are connected together, and I guess there will be control facilities. You will definitely be known to you by taking things from it. Therefore, you must also pay attention to safety on the way out, and it cannot be the same as when you came."
"We are also from the Medusa clan, so we must have the ability to protect ourselves." The two Medusa smiled slightly, then took off their glasses at the time stagnant cabinet. Not only Medusa's eyes, but the snakes that made up their hair also pointed their eyes at the target simultaneously. The two beautiful snakes "exercise their power" together, releasing petrified light that was ten times stronger than before than before.
It is generally a wrong idea to think that petrified light is only effective for living organisms. Recalling the petrified knights, mages and thieves, they are not all naked, right? The clothes on their bodies and weapons in their hands can be petrified. Therefore, the same is true for the time stagnation cabinet.
The cabinet containing the three-star blue egg was completely petrified in an instant, losing all its original functions. At the same time as the alarm sounded, the egg broke out of static state and fell into the stone cabinet. Zhao Mai's heart twitched. Medusa squeezed his eyes and said, "It's okay. Our Medusa's egg will neither be petrified nor smashed on the stone."
"In other words, can this egg shatter the stone?"
"How can you be so cruel!" One Medusa pinched her waist and faced Zhao Mai, and the other gently tugged her back with her tail. She woke up, and the two snakes crushed the stone cabinet door with their hands together, and carefully took out the egg.
"It's great to be alive, still alive." One of the Medusa opened her mouth hard, spread her upper and lower jaws to the point of the flat corner, and then stuffed the egg into her throat. Zhao Mai definitely had no bold thoughts at this time, but he was a little worried about whether the egg would be digested. However, they were willing to take the risk, and they just came to eat an egg, right? Perhaps the throat was the entrance to a wonderful storage space?
Forget it, now is not the time to worry about this problem. After the alarm sounds, many spray heads stick out from the ceiling, making a whispering sound. What comes out from it is not poisonous smoke, but a cluster of micro-machines, composed of nano-scale parts, and the final product is slightly larger than the virus. They are almost transparent, and can swim quickly in the air to complete the task of reconnaissance and strike together. This thing once made Z-worm a headache here, until Z-worm successfully developed a new cooking method and included it in the recipe food chain. The victory of Z-worm was the victory of Z-worm, and it has always been like this.
Zhao Mai is not afraid of this thing, but one dragon, one dog, two snakes are not so strong tolerant. Once they are approached by a micro-machine cluster, they will not be able to deal with them unless they have enough ability to cover the internal slam. Hearing the hissing sound of sprinklers, several guys raised their heads, but only Alextasa could see such a small flying insect, and she immediately began to gather flames in her throat. The other two snakes and dogs had just sensed and had not yet recognized the enemy.
"No need to spit fire, these enemies cannot get close to you." The detections released by Zhao Mai also have sufficient energy, just adjust them back to defend. Imitate the neutron wall outside, these guys formed an upside down bowl, followed Zhao Mai while preying on the nanomechanical bodies.
"Since the alarm has been sounded, let's go out from the nearest place. I'll look at the navigation... The nearest one above my head is only the height of the room on the fourth floor." Zhao Mai thought for a while, and then said, "But we are here to get the eggs, not to tear down the house. In order to reduce their losses, let's fly up from the corridor."
Anyway, I had to follow Zhao Mai and be protected by his "dandruff bowl". The group came out of the egg wall and was immediately surrounded by a group of wheeled combat robots. Dozens of laser emitters made inhumane aim. Zhao Mai waved his hand and said hello, first reversing his hands and stuffed the door and door frame back into the door opening, and then sealed the gap that the nanomechanical body might have come out.
"Surrender immediately!" The group of machines repeated in different languages, but they were the same when they fell into Zhao Mai's ears. All robots have a unified logo, a black planet with a white halo.
"Don't surrender. And I have a few words to your controller." Zhao Mai clapped his hands and said, "We came in and took away the egg belonging to Medusa, only one. Then, we are ready to go out now. You can calculate the cost-effectiveness ratio, how much value a single egg is worth investing in the pursuit troops. Of course, there are some hidden values in it, such as rules and deterrence to later generations. I don't have to do anything to calculate, but I just remind you that this investment will definitely not be able to recover any bottomless pits."
It seems that he has never seen such a shameless thief, and even the combat robot was stunned. Zhao Mai took this time to raise his hand and pointed upward, and used the wind to penetrate all floors directly, making a hole the size of a needle hole. With this hole, he could accurately sense the situation on each floor. Fortunately, there was still a corridor above the corridor, with no one, until the roof.
"Okay, catch me." As soon as Zhao Mai finished speaking, the robots opened fire. They shot out laser beams with strong penetration and burning properties, and were blocked by Zhao Mai's mental barrier. The light was twisted and circled around several people to the opposite side, then left the spiritual field and flew out.
After a volley, the rays of the opponent's accomplices accurately avoided the original target, and all fell on friendly forces. The robot destroyed itself. With the sound of explosions, Zhao Mai had already taken off with everyone, tearing open the ceiling, passing it over, repairing it, and then continuing to tear it down.
It is estimated that they don’t have many robots here, or they don’t want to send them to die, so it was not until Zhao Mai arrived outside the fort that a second wave of blockers appeared. In this wave, there was only one person, not tall, with a long horn on his head, sitting in an eggshell aircraft. This was not like a combat vehicle, it should be just a kind of transportation tool. The little man kept posing with a weird and treacherous smile, and he was smiling while looking at Zhao Mai. He brought an earmuff with a single-piece LED mirror on his left ear, which should have been combined with some kind of battlefield analysis device.
"The combat power is really good. Two rare original species, Medusa, but unfortunately you are not my opponent at all. Well, the red dragon transforms into a human form? It's a bit tricky, but the weakness of the dragon clan is too obvious. What species is this? It looks like a dog. It's actually higher in combat power than a dragon. Is this a malfunction?" The guy sitting in the egg talked to himself, knocking on the earmuffs with his left hand.
