Wasteland Code Survival

After Cooper took Qi Lin to visit the newly added facilities in the base one by one, Qi Lin finally re-entered the "core pillar tower" of the 404 base.

There is not much change inside the core column, but the corpses all over the place have been cleaned up... Well, according to Cooper, most of them have become "nutrients" in the edible fungus cultivation factory.

The damaged parts of the core pillar tower were also repaired, and at the door of some important rooms, there were mechanical soldiers with guns and live ammunition standing guard.

The changes inside the central control room are quite big, but in Cooper's words, this is the original appearance of the central control room in working condition.

The entire central control room is shrouded in a layer of dreamlike blue light. In the open space in the middle of the control room, there is a virtual projection of the entire 404 base, and each projection has an independent The display bar of, is used to explain the current state of the facility, and the drop-down menu on the side contains dozens of operating instructions-through this central control room, Qi Lin can control the entire 404 base Heart in the hands.

From turning off the lights in a bathroom to entering the nuclear reactor’s self-destruction command, it can be done with a single click on the virtual menu. Since Cooper gave Qi Lin high enough authority, he didn’t even need to enter any one. password.

"Oh, by the way, Cooper, I have put together the incomplete boot core last time...well, but it has some interesting changes. I need you to help me analyze it."

After Qi Lin finished speaking, he took out the round "iron ball" from his backpack.

A blue light swept across the iron ball in an instant, and the virtual image of the iron ball was refreshed in front of Qi Lin and Cooper in an instant, and on the side are the basic physical attributes such as diameter, weight, average density, etc. .

"This average density... is indeed a bit abnormal." Cooper nodded.

"I guess there is some kind of highly compressed energy body inside this activation core, but this energy body is very stable, and severe impact has no effect on it. Strong acids and alkalis can't even leave any traces on the surface of the iron ball. It's just a matter of not using the concentrated energy bombardment with the'annihilation' attribute to hit it."

"It is not necessarily an energy body. According to the information stored in my data, humans have synthesized at least 20 materials that can reach this density in the laboratory before the war, and half of them can be stable under normal conditions. exist."

"You mean... this iron ball is probably'solid'?"

"I don’t dare to make a statement before I have conducted a thorough analysis, but at the cheapest price among those synthetic materials, one gram of the cost can buy an F-35 Lightning II fighter jet, and the weight of this sphere It reached 47.9 kg. You should know what this means, right?"

"Although the cost of an F-35 is less than half that of the F-22 Raptor, it costs more than 100 million U.S. dollars... Then if this thing is solid... this thing is worth nearly five trillion U.S. dollars... Calculated at the exchange rate of one to six, that would be 30 trillion Chinese currency..."

30 trillion Chinese currency, what concept is that?

We must know that 15 years ago, when the signs of the outbreak of the war were still not obvious, China's fiscal revenue a year was only more than 20 trillion yuan... and after the outbreak of the war, there was no more fiscal revenue. Made public.

Is the government's fiscal revenue for a year and a half equal to such a small iron ball?

Even if it was a virtual world, Qi Lin felt a little weird.

"Therefore, it is impossible for anyone or any force to be able to make this thing, if it uses those ultra-density materials-not that it cannot be made, but that it cannot be made."

"Is it possible that there is a new material that is not so expensive but also has such a high density?"

"This possibility is infinitely close to zero,

"Then isn't this thing made by humans? Is it the handwriting of an alien?"

"That's not the case. You asked me to analyze it before the core was complete last time. I found traces left by humans in it, and even the number carved with Arabic numerals, so you can Sure, this is an artifact."

"...Why do I feel more and more confusing? Forget it, let's just send it for analysis." After Qi Lin finished speaking, he put the starter core in a safety box, and a mechanical soldier immediately picked it up. The safety box was sent to the analysis room.

after an hour.

"How could this be?"

After reading a very brief analysis report, Qi Lin couldn't help but sat down in a chair somewhat depressed.

When the activation core is not yet complete, the equipment at the 404 base can still perform simple scanning and analysis. But now, when the analytical equipment attempts to use radiation to detect its internal structure, the activation core seems to have come alive. , Activated the active defense measures, not only did the detection rays fail to penetrate the inside of the activation core, but the reflected laser also destroyed the transmitter.

"This is normal. Any kind of precision equipment will have anti-theft measures, let alone such a priceless thing." Cooper was not surprised by this result-of course, a smart AI like him, The so-called surprise is nothing more than the emotion simulated by the humanized module.

"Oh, forget it—"

Just when Qi Lin was about to give up, Cooper’s virtual image suddenly took a step forward. With a wave of his arm, the real-time projection of the analysis room was displayed in front of Qi Lin: "Master, although we haven’t been able to get anything useful. Information, but when I was dealing with the endgame in the analysis room, I found this thing—"

The transmitter that analyzes the laser is indeed damaged, but if you zoom in on the lens, you can see a string of very small letters etched on the focusing lens of the laser transmitter.

"HongKong-Koloon...Hong Kong...Kowloon?!"

"According to the literal translation, it really means'Hong Kong Kowloon'." Cooper said.

"Is this going there? But the problem is...During the war, Hong Kong's Kowloon Peninsula... has sunk into Victoria Bay!"
