Chapter 444: Improvised Equipment
"Ah,—yes, I think so."
Thinking about what the concept of a thirty-meter-thick metal shielding layer is, Long Yun could only raise his eyebrows to express his agreement. Not to mention that even if he hides behind a thirty-meter-thick metal wall, he can only approach the "dead city" and 14,000 meters away. How can such a thick shielding layer move forward with the scout?
What a joke, is this just a joke?
Since this is the case with metal, there is probably no need to mention other materials. Long Yun knew that blocking this road would not work when he saw this.
Since the blocking method has no future, what about other technical means?
Long Yun, who thought he was considerate and came with clever ideas, walked through the huge workshop and factory buildings accompanied by agents and Zakayev, walking through equipment and tools of various shapes and functions, and then heard the agents explaining one by one, he truly realized how detailed the investigation work of the General Administration of Rome was carried out.
In order to spy on the "dead city" that is shrouded by mysterious forces and cannot be set foot in, KGB agents and technicians have tried all kinds of ways and tried all the technical means that humans can use at this stage. Just in front of Long Yun, what he saw was a six-wheel remote-controlled reconnaissance vehicle that looks like a lunar rover. This equipment relies on wires and consoles to remotely operate, and is equipped with optical reflectors and mechanical sampling equipment for easy observation. The agent explained on the side that he planned to use wires to control the car and drive to the surrounding area close to the "dead city" for reconnaissance.
"Oh...this thing looks good! How about it, the test results-"
As soon as he asked, Long Yun swallowed the second half of the sentence. Because he immediately remembered that if the equipment he visited could really be used, the General Administration of Rome might have figured out the truth about the "dead city", so why bother to work hard for more than ten years but still at a loss?
Sure enough, when he heard Long Yun’s question, the agent replied in a low voice:
"Oh, the result is very bad. Major General, the car you see now is just an experimental prototype left by the project team at that time; during the actual test, I don't know why. The mysterious power can even destroy the circuit. The cars we sent out completely lost response when they advance to a certain distance, and they can't be recycled."
"Ah, that's it."
This terrifying mysterious power is really weird. It can even destroy military reinforcement-level circuit equipment?
Thinking of the creative equipment and equipment I saw just now that it had lost its effect around the "dead city", Long Yun nodded in a heavy mood. As expected, no electronic device could be used, even the intelligent robots everywhere in the real world could only stare at them.
In short, after a long journey, Long Yun is now more convinced of his judgment: it is not possible to rely on instruments and equipment. Therefore, if the investigation is successful or not, you still have to try it yourself to know. After returning to the office, I briefly exchanged views with Zakayev and also reached the consensus that "there is no hope for the development of equipment at present". Long Yun continued to express his own opinions:
"Look, Comrade Zakayev, it was because I thought of taking the entire electronic device to fail. Without any electronic device, it would be impossible to obtain information by remote control, right? As for myself, I just plan to try it. If I feel uncomfortable, I will evacuate immediately. Isn't it safe to ensure that I have no electronic device."
"But, after all, many people have tried it, and you may also..."
It was hard for him to persuade the trump card general in front of him to give up this idea. Zakayev's words sounded quite tactful. In fact, what he wanted to say was, "So many people have tried it, but they can't get close to the 'dead city'. It's not only dangerous for you to experiment like this, but also in vain."
But the old man didn't know at this time that Long Yun, who had already made up his mind, would certainly not be persuaded by such reasons. The two discussed for a while and weighed the pros and cons of the investigation. Zakayev barely recognized Long Yun's action plan and agreed to coordinate the technical strength of the General Administration of Rome to provide all necessary support for Long Yun's journey to the 0353 region from a relatively professional perspective.
Speaking of which, Zakayev was also thinking at this time that since Victor Rezenov in front of him was taking the order signed by Beria himself, he might have some of the highest instructions that he could not disclose to himself? If this is the case, then the matter would be simple. Just follow the instructions of the major general; if he really could solve the mystery of the "dead city", it would be considered as helping the General Administration of Rome to complete an important task, which would naturally be better.
Seeing that the plan was decided and without delay, Long Yun immediately set out to prepare before departure and went to the equipment warehouse of the General Administration of Rome with Zakayev to collect all the available items.
Walking into the spacious warehouse full of various supplies, Long Yun saw many new things that were not available on the market or even in the army. Of course, these things are nothing in the real world, but they are the best spy and intelligence equipment in the parallel world; but unfortunately, around the "dead city" where all electronic equipment fails, these equipment is completely useless.
To go to the forbidden area of the "Dead City" to conduct investigations, now he can only choose tools and equipment that do not require electricity at all. Fortunately, after years of research and targeted preparations, the equipment preparations in the General Administration of Rome that have nothing to do with electricity are very complete. After searching for common items such as steam lamps, kettles, and poison filter masks, Long Yun found reinforced tents and water evaporation extractors specially used in the Gobi desert area. In addition, there are cold fireworks that can be illuminated for a short time. This reliable equipment that does not rely on electricity is very suitable for use in extreme environments such as the "Dead City".
After searching for a long time, there were only these things, Long Yun didn't feel disappointed: Originally, if no one could get close to the "dead city", what's the use of preparing more equipment? It's probably because the KGB had died long ago and sent people to investigate this heart, so he didn't work hard on the equipment he used, so he can only make do with it now.
"Comrade Rezenov, if you decide, I will contact the General Administration's responsible department in Central Asia; it is recommended that you arrive in Cherkar first, and then you can take a vehicle to the 'dead city' from there."
"Okay, Comrade Zakayev.—Oh, by the way, there's something else,"
