Wasteland Code Survival

Chapter 429 Underground Radiation

"Warning: The gyroscope of the balance system is damaged, and the power armour balance system loses its function..."

"Warning: The back armor is damaged, and the protection capacity is reduced by 18%."

"Warning: The damaged part of the left shoulder is enlarged, and the coolant leaks 50%..."

"Warning: The mechanical joint of the left ankle was damaged again, and the automatic repair was forced to stop. Please replace the spare parts manually."

...

The built-in intellectual brain of the power armor kept screaming sirens, and the VR screen showed the damage of the entire power armor-I saw that about 30% of the power armor had become representatives Completely scrapped and need to be replaced with new parts" the red color, and the orange color which represents "severely damaged and cannot be repaired by itself" also occupies more than half.

Those grenades were specially made to deal with armored targets. Coupled with the fact that they rolled down from the top of the cave and bumped all the way, this three-three-type power armor had fallen into a very bad condition.

And Qi Lin, who was in this power armor, even turned on the metalized state in time, but the shock wave from the explosion still shocked him.

After lying on the ground for more than ten seconds, Qi Lin barely eased his breath.

Shaking his head still a little dizzy, he tried hard to get up from the ground, but at this time, he found that the damaged joints of the power armor had been completely stuck, even the simple movement of bending and extending the knee. Can't do it.

"Rely... It's really bad luck..."

Qi Lin took a lot of effort before using brute force to directly open the cover on the chest of the power armor, and got out of the power armor that was already immobile.

"Here... Where is it? The bottom of that cave?"

Looking around the cave where it is, it should be under the foundation of the Herrens Power Station. The surrounding cave walls are no longer artificial concrete foundations, but the unique hard frozen soil on the Mongolian plateau. Frozen soil is hard enough to compare with hard limestone rock formations. Excavating tunnels or caves in such places undoubtedly requires astronomical manpower and material resources.

The place where Qi Lin is now is an unnaturally formed tunnel. The tunnel is roughly an irregular ellipse, with obvious signs of corrosion and dissolution on the tunnel wall.

"Is this the monster's lair here?"

Qi Lin looked back at the cave where he had fallen. The slope of the cave reached more than sixty degrees, which was very steep, and the depth was about 200 to 300 meters. It was very difficult to return from the original road.Moreover, even if Qi Lin used all his energy to climb up, those who were about to kill him might be guarding the edge of the hole, waiting for Qi Lin himself to hit their guns.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it is no longer possible for Qi Lin to get back what belongs to him. He can't even return to the ground.

Since there is no way to return, then we can only bite the bullet and move forward.

Qi Lin checked the equipment in his hand-a three-three power armor (obsolete), a GS-03 Gauss pistol, 41 rounds of 2.5mm electromagnetic bombs, and a FMG9 folding submachine gun. Ninety rounds of the 9mm Parabellum pistol and two M84 shock rounds.

The heavy scrapped power armor can only be thrown here. Qi Lin originally wanted to take down the weapon of the three-three-type power armor, but he tried his best to activate the weapon system of this power armor. , Can only give up.

According to the standard configuration of the three-three power armor, there should be two foldable 5.56 millimeters deployed on the inside of the arm armor, using metal hard bullet slots for bombs, and on the back of the power armor, there is a small honeycomb rocket launcher. If Qi Lin can activate these weapons, he won't be forced to jump into this cave.

Filling the emptied Gauss pistol magazine with bullets, Qi Lin held the Gauss pistol in one hand and the FMG9 in the other, and began to slowly advance toward the depths of the cave.

...

If this cave is really the nest of the monster above, then there must be other exits elsewhere-there is nothing in this hard frozen soil that the monster can use as food, even if It simply feeds on radiation energy, and the place where it was attacked by nuclear weapons and contaminated by radiation is also on the surface, not underground, which is hundreds of meters deep.

It's just... why the more you go forward, the higher the radiation concentration in the surrounding environment?

Thick rock layers and soil have always been the best barriers to insulate radiation-refuges in the real world, generally only a distance of 100 meters to 150 meters from the ground, the depth of those super large refuges deep underground It will not exceed 500 meters, mostly at a depth of about 300 meters, and those ultra-small shelters located within 50 meters of the shallow surface of the earth also have a good protection effect against radiation.

Those shelters built in the deep layer are just because the shallow ground surface is likely to collapse if a large area is hollowed out. Generally speaking, a soil layer of about 30 meters, a concrete layer of more than two meters thick, plus a layer of lead The board and a layer of water can perfectly resist radiation from the outside.

As for Qi Lin, although there is no lead layer and water layer, there is a two-hundred-meter-thick frozen soil layer. Even if a hole is opened, the radiation concentration here should not be so high... right?

"Could it be that I was wrong? The radiation here does not come from the nuclear power plant reactor overhead?"

Qi Lin glanced at the environmental radiation concentration displayed on the brain—just one of the few functions that the personal brain retains after the third stage is turned on—the radiation concentration in the tunnel at this moment is 89, compared to The radiation concentration in the surrounding environment of Herrens Power Station is even higher.

The radiation here definitely does not come from the nuclear fuel rods exposed to the air in the reactor... even, the radiation may have nothing to do with humans at all!

Reminiscent of the monster feeding on radiant energy, Qi Lin suddenly had a bold guess about the underground tunnel.

"Here... there shouldn't be a... uranium vein that humans haven't discovered, right?"

Although the mastermind said that all the environment in the game world is reproduced from the earth in the real world, it is obviously a lie-due to the existence of the player, the wasteland in the game world has long been with the surface in reality. The two are very different. It is impossible for the two to reach a complete agreement, or even a general agreement.

In other words, even if there is really a uranium vein underground in the Herrens Power Station, it is not impossible at all. After all, for the mastermind, the existence of a uranium vein is only a large list. The number consisting of 0 and 1 is nothing more.
