Chapter 925 Armor Failure
It was night, and the hunters of the Special Investigation Group who had completed their first daily reconnaissance mission returned to the Star Stronghold one after another.
From an efficiency point of view, it is somewhat of a "waste of resources" to have high-ranking hunters perform such daily reconnaissance missions at home.
After all, as long as they have sufficient experience in field operations, ordinary investigators can do this kind of tasks without even requiring a hunter.
However, this mission close to home is very critical for the powerful newcomers like the Special Investigation Team.
Only after seeing it with their own eyes, touching it with their own hands, and experiencing it themselves can they realize from the bottom of their hearts that they and others have arrived in a brand new land.
Every plant, tree, and even the air here is different from what they were used to.
This unaccustomed attitude is not only reflected in the mentality, but also has a more tangible impact.
Take Gordon as an example.
He didn't realize it before when he was wearing casual clothes at the stronghold, but today he was fully armed and found out after running around in the ancient tree forest all day and killing two small monsters without eyes.
My own [He Yao] suit seems a bit "acclimated" to the New World.
Mainly reflected in the effect of dragon energy activity, it is obvious that the strength of [He Yao]'s dragon energy has been weakened, and the difficulty of activation has also increased.
He is not a technician or a craftsman, and he can't find the reason for a while, but he trusts his sense of body.
This was a very serious problem. He went to the leader of the second phase of the group as soon as possible to see if there was a solution.
However, at the moment, the equipment problem can only be put aside first, as there are more urgent matters that need to be dealt with urgently.
A total of five groups of people set out in the morning, but only four groups came back in the end.
The night is already deep, and Evelin, Feddy, and the team of ecological researcher Pop still haven’t returned.
The probability of being killed should be low. After all, no one has seen a distress signal. With the strength of the couple, even if they encounter an ancient dragon, they will not be unable to send a distress signal.
Lost? It is also unlikely. According to Hunter and others, Ms. Pope spends at least half of the year wandering in the ancient tree forest, and she should not get lost if anyone gets lost.
Are you caught in something?
As time passed, everyone became more and more anxious.
Just when Gordon proposed to the Commander-in-Chief that he wanted to lead a team to search overnight, Evelin and the others finally came back.
As for the reason why they returned late, it seems to be clear at a glance.
——Fedi held a huge egg in his arms.
This egg is about the same size as a Maru bird egg, but the overall shape is a little more slender and the pattern is more complicated. I don’t know what kind of creature it is.
With such a big egg in their arms, they obviously couldn't use the Pterosaur to fly. It took them a lot of effort and time to run all the way from the northern area of the giant tree back to the star stronghold.
The commander-in-chief, who was also relieved, came over and asked about the situation.
The three Evelins described their experiences of discovering unknown tracks, tracking them, and witnessing the battle between the male fire dragon and the unknown flying dragon.
The commander-in-chief crossed his arms and his expression became serious, "Are you saying that a flying dragon suspected to be a subspecies of Fengdiaolong has invaded the ancient tree forest?"
As an ecological surveyor Member Popper quickly added, "It may not be a subspecies, it may just be an individual with a mutated appearance."
As she spoke, she took out a piece of purple wing membrane.
"The situation is urgent. I only had time to take this sample. The director and others may be able to see something."
"Well--" the commander-in-chief pondered.
He is always particularly vigilant about the abnormal migration of this species.
Gordon was curious about another thing, "So what's going on with that egg?"
With the help of the people next to him, Feidi found an empty wooden box lined with soft cushions, carefully placed the eggs, and then shook his sore arms and said:
"That flying dragon was dying. ”
Fedi caressed the unbeaten child. The eggshell was polished like marble and slightly rough. "Evelin and I couldn't stand it. She broke it off and wrapped it around the dragon. I hugged the egg and ran away."
"Uh. "Looking at the egg, Gordon didn't know what to say.
As far as he knew, it was a relatively common phenomenon for creatures in late pregnancy to give birth early when they encountered danger.
Most premature fetuses and eggs are not very healthy. Even if the egg is fertilized, it is likely that it will not hatch.
What Evelin and the others did was a bit too emotional.
Because you had a baby not long ago, so you don’t want to see these things?
“Ensuring your own safety is the first priority, remember this in the future.”
After the commander-in-chief reminded the soft-hearted couple, he didn’t say much, “It’s already very late. Send these to the Institute of Ecology, and then go back and rest.”
The next morning, not long after finishing morning exercise, Xuanxu came to the door with two cats and one dog.
The little girl seems to be particularly interested in the egg. It was too dark last night to see it clearly, so she wanted to go to the Institute of Ecology early to observe it carefully.
Pork Chop Pandan is also very curious, while Li Feng sticks out his tongue and drools, most likely because he is greedy.
The talkative Hayata was dragged away by them. Gordon specifically reminded her to stare at the strong wind and not take a bite of anything she saw.
Gordon himself brought the [He Yao] suit to the processing house.
The weakened equipment was like a thorn stuck in his throat, and he didn't sleep well last night.
Not many people came to the processing house early in the morning, but there were also a few craftsmen who were busy.
They may have been working all night. After all, the work of smelting and forging cannot be stopped just by putting out the fire when they want to sleep.
The leader of the craftsmen and the leader of the second group is also there.
Except for meetings and sleeping, this old man basically stays in the processing room all day.
Moving the components of the [He Yao] suit onto the counter one by one, Gordon explained the anomaly he discovered.
I thought the old craftsman would be suspicious first, but I didn't expect that he just picked up the breastplate and looked at it for a few times, then sighed: "I know what you are referring to. It's a pity that this question I can't solve it."
Gordon's expression changed, and the old craftsman didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued: "If you read it right, this set of armor. It should be the work of that legendary craftsman.
It has a complex energy transmission structure, but also has amazing stability.
It fills the armor with high-intensity energy. Does it provide additional attribute resistance and strength protection? Is this the design idea?
He is indeed the legendary master. "
After listening to the leader of the second group praising [He Yao], Gordon asked tentatively: "Is the problem very difficult? "
The old craftsman scratched his steel needle-like beard and said, "The problem lies in 'energy'. The energy environment in the New World and the Old World are different.
Let me give you a simple example. When you boil water on the plains, the boiling temperature is different from when you boil water on the plateau.
If you want to boil hot enough water on the plateau, you need to use a special pressure cooker. The same is true for your armor. ”
Gordon roughly understood, "So, can't you add a 'high-pressure valve' to this set of armor?"
The leader of the second group pushed back the armor parts, "It's a pity, I'm afraid. No.
That dragon master's skills are superior to mine. If you give me enough materials and let me build a similar set of equipment from scratch, there should be no problem.
But if I have to disassemble, modify, and reinstall this set of armor, I'm afraid it will continue to malfunction."( End of chapter)
