Chapter 146
The sunset appeared in the sky, and after the fire started to burn, the sky gradually darkened. Although the moonlight was not bright, with the starlight, you could vaguely see movement within a few hundred meters.
The mechanical beasts had long disappeared in the distance, but the traces on the ground were clearly visible. The action team followed the traces left by the mechanical beasts. There was a plain in front of them, with little undulations, and the sound of owls gurgling in the woods and grasses. The insects in late autumn were still desperately declaring their existence. These became the best cover for the action team.
"It won't be that far, right? We have been following for more than 100 kilometers. Those mechanical beasts have experienced a big battle and were injured. How can they go so far?" Zhao Xiaogang asked. Zhao Xiaogang's question seemed to be the question that others were asking. Everyone's eyes turned to Stroger. Stroger is a mechanical warrior and has received mechanical beasts. He should have a say in this regard.
Stroger walked like wood, but the eyes of the infrared detector could probably see the six ways. He felt that this problem could not be escaped. He said: "If humans have a technical level, it is naturally not easy to have such a large battery to support them to go so far. The Holy City battery is much more advanced than the batteries made by humans. What's so amazing about it? The battery of the mechanical beast is a critical material battery. An energy battery can store the energy of about 55 kilograms of tnt explosives. In extreme cases, these energy can support a mechanical beast to fight for about four days without interruption! Compared to this journey, it is so flat and does not require a battle, so it can't consume much of their energy at all."
"What is the critical matter battery? Why can't humans study it?" Guo Tianming asked. He was more interested in these things.
Stroger turned his head and looked at him. Someone was interested in these things, which surprised him, and said, "Hmph, it's not that humans cannot study it. In the era of peace between humans and the Holy City, human science and technology were not bad either. However, after fighting for so many years, countless human scientists have died, and science and technology have been lost. What's more, humans are regressing, but the Holy City has less human interference in technology and is making progress every day. They have developed a lot of new things to deal with humans, including advanced energy storage methods!"
"There is a crystal mixture in the Holy City. When it is impacted by a high-voltage current, it will liquefy. Moreover, the liquefied mixture will absorb more electrons due to changes in molecular structure, which is a critical matter battery. This technology will inject positrons into the nucleus through atomic technology, thereby improving the efficiency of energy storage. From a manifestation point of view, since there are positrons in the nucleus, the escape of positrons will take away some of the electrons, so the critical matter battery will emit light. Humans can now find the energy battery of the dead mechanical beast on the battlefield, but there is no charging device. I don't know how to store this total energy into the battery, so even if they get the energy battery from the body of the mechanical beast, it is useless."
"So, the lines on your body are also like this kind of battery?"
Strogg nodded.
"Wow, it's so cool!" Guo Tianming praised. Stroger's body was charging when basking in the sun during the day. At this moment, it was full of charge, and the streamlines on his body flashed with bright blue light current, which looked mysterious and beautiful.
"Shh! Speak softly!" Wu Kun turned his head and signaled everyone behind him to lower his voice. Wu Kun said this, something must be happening in front. There seemed to be something behind the hill not far ahead, and the sky there was a little halo.
After climbing over the hills, a flat valley appeared in front of everyone. In the flat valley in the distance, there were star-stepping lights. From the light range, it looked like a larger base. This is already the area of the control of the Mechanical City Front of the Mechanical City, so naturally no humans will build anything here, so this light can only be a base of the Mechanical City.
"Boss! What should I do?" Yang Botao asked Wu Kun.
Wu Kun said without thinking: "Touch forward through the woods!"
Li Xinyan took off his clothes and threw them to Stroger, saying, "Put it on!" Stroger was stunned, but then obediently put on the clothes to cover the shining streamlines of his body. Cool things are, in some cases, troublesome things.
After walking two steps, Stroger suddenly realized a problem and whispered: "Don't be anxious for now, you can't walk like this. Most of the mechanical beast's eyes are infrared eyes. If we don't walk like this, we will be discovered!"
"What should I do?" Yang Botao asked.
Stroger looked around and pointed to the valley: "If you are lucky, there will be some water in the river, and we can walk through it."
Li Xinyan said, "If you are not familiar with the place, it's night again, and walking in the river may not be safe."
What should I do? Everyone looked at him. Li Xinyan touched the riverside, reached out to dig on the ground, wiped it on his face, then applied mud on his body, returned to Strog, and asked, "Can you see me now?" Strog swept his red eyes and said, "Well, I don't know much." Li Xinyan thought for a while, grabbed some long grass from the nearby grass, tied it to his body, and asked Strog, what about now?
Stroger said: "Well, it looks very similar to the environment, the edges are very blurry, and it is impossible to tell what it is."
Then, everyone wiped their faces with mud and wrapped them with grass on their bodies. They ran slowly towards the mechanical beast base. The disguise tested by Stroger's electronic eyes deceived the eyes of those mechanical beasts. Of course, it was no problem. Stroger wrapped around himself and wondered that he had a feeling of being used. This use made him feel indescribable, which made him feel itchy, and it was a world of difference when he was commanded by those high nodes in the holy city. While running, Stroger was thinking about why, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out what it was.
The Mechanical Beast Base slowly approached. You can see that there were electronic devices scanning the valley on the hills on both sides, but there seemed to be no Mechanical Beast moving outside.
"Only, there will be a team of ordinary mechanic soldiers patrolling directly in front of the base." Strogg lowered his voice and pointed to the ground at the entrance of the base. There were two searchlights there slowly scanning back and forth, but looking around, there was no mechanical beast.
"I won't be ambushed, right?" Yang Botao asked in a low voice.
"No." Stroger shook his head, "This T3-scale base itself accommodates a large number of mechanic soldiers, and this is an area controlled by the Holy City. There is no human being to attack, so there is no need to ambush it."
"T3 scale? What does that mean?" Li Xinyan asked.
Strog said: "T1 is the smallest fighter base in the Holy City. It is mainly used to support the battle. It has the largest number, generally a capacity of 500 mechanics. Most of it provides sufficient combat support for mechanics. The capacity of the t2 base is about 1,000, which is equivalent to a human regiment. It provides guarantees for overhaul. The base with a capacity of about 2,000 at the t3 base provides all the guarantees needed by mechanics."
"2000!" Yang Botao took a deep breath, and everyone else was also surprised. This base of order of magnitude... When I touched this, it seemed that I was playing a game with Death! Although it was an action team, I was not afraid of death, but I was not the one who forced me to die because I didn't deal with the strength at all.
Li Xinyan glanced at everyone and said coldly: "I think there is nothing scary. Generally, the capacity in the base is inconsistent with the actual number of garrisons. The capacity is just that when everyone comes back, the base can ensure that everyone enjoys the care of the base. The army always has to complete the task, so in most cases, the force in the base is always less than the capacity. Another point, don't forget that during the tracking process along the way, we did not see mechanical beasts going to other places, and the traces on the ground only lead to this base. If we consider that those mechanical beasts are disabled and are stationed here, then the actual force of this base should be even smaller!"
"Yes." Wu Kun said.
Li Xinyan smiled at Wu Kun and continued: "If there is a major loss in a base, in fact, under any circumstances, the most important thing is to ensure the safety of the base. The combat effectiveness of the soldiers has decreased, and it will be a disaster. Not to mention what to do if the enemy invades outside, just the anger of their own people will destroy their base. Humans are like this, and other living bodies are inevitable. As everyone sees, there are no mechanic soldiers, which shows that the mechanic soldiers are very relaxed in defense. Of course, it is very likely that the mechanic soldiers do not think that humans will come here and do not pay attention to these defenses at all, but another possible reason is... When the Mechanic City was fighting just now, even sent out sentries!"
