Chapter 425 Entering the Deep Pit
Xiao Wu knew that he would definitely not be able to persuade Chen Lin, so he could only helplessly gesture to a few people behind him, and soon someone exclusive to Chen Lin The powered armor was brought over.
Chen Lin and the receptionist were chatting wordlessly on the topic of the deep pit below. As soon as he saw his powered armor being brought over, his face was filled with smiles. : "I heard Professor Yu say that this thing has been upgraded several times, and I don't know what the difference is from before."
"There is a dedicated team responsible for upgrading your set of armor. The specific upgrade content is not available." A few people know, and you have to try it on yourself to find out."
Xiao Wu signaled the entire security team to quickly replace the power armor in batches, while he headed towards Chen Lin. He said: "Mr. Chen, let's put this on first?"
Chen Lin nodded and walked straight forward, noticing that his exclusive power armor was now very different from before. The current armor carrying case was lighter and more convenient than the previous one, and the overall look was smaller. .
But when he stood on the fully automatic armor box, he was still the same as before, quickly starting from his feet to build the power armor on his body, which was made of heterogeneous steel as the main body and nanomaterials as the auxiliary.
As Chen Lin's feet sank slightly, all the components in the reserve box were assembled. A holographic display appeared in front of Chen Lin, and the identity information of the people around him changed in sequence as he turned his head. emerge.
Chen Lin raised his head to see what state the smart assistant was in. As soon as he raised his head, he saw that the small gift given to him by the pioneer Aian was directly attached to his shoulder. With a clicking sound, this The mechanical gadget that was originally in a spherical form actually changed its form - it turned into a shoulder cannon!
The powered armor also quickly reminded Chen Lin that an unknown device was trying to access the power system of the armor itself, and the onboard system asked him if he allowed it.
Of course Chen Lin allowed it. The picture in front of him suddenly changed into a progress bar. After three to five seconds, the system showed that it had been linked to the device. Now there is an extra shoulder cannon in the power armor!
"It's amazing..."
Chen Lin murmured, turned his face and noticed that Xiao Wu also quickly changed into a full set of powered armor, and the entire security team was The soldiers are equipped with power armor and standardized electromagnetic rifles, and they look very aura.
The glasses guy who was originally responsible for receiving them was envious after seeing this scene. He is not a member of the military. Currently, these power armor equipment are only supplied to military personnel stationed on the Origin Star. Judging from the current production, the army has more than enough for one. I don’t know when these things will be popularized outside the army...
The glasses guy is thinking to himself. , Chen Lin's team is already ready to set off.
Xiao Wu still focused on safety and chose to take the cableway equipment set up below the platform to lift down. Chen Lin originally wanted to jump down directly, but was forcibly pulled by a group of people and failed. At this time, he could only It is to stand steadily on the lifting platform and slowly go down.
"I said, how fast can we just jump down? Anyway, these power armors themselves have the function of flying!"
Chen Lin was a little crazy about the slow speed of the lifting platform and couldn't bear it. Zhu complained.
"Colonel Chen, safety is the most important thing!"
Xiao Wu grabbed the handrail next to him and said to Chen Lin, "Just listen to us, the lift here is The ropeway is very well designed, and it’s nice to enjoy the scenery on the way down! ”
"...There is some truth in what he said."
Chen Lin was finally convinced by Xiao Wu. After following Chen Lin for so many years, Xiao Wu also knew what key points to focus on to convince Chen Lin reasonably and quickly. Now, This conversation is the best verification.
The group of people rode the lift cableway slowly down, and entered the pit from the upper platform. The surrounding sunlight seemed to be absorbed in an instant and converged to the outside of the pit. In the area, both sides of the lifting platform instantly became a lot darker.
"God, how big an area this is..."
Xiao Wu looked around and saw that the entire area they were in was a bit scary. The platform above was indeed It's not small, but after their lifting platform is lowered from the large platform to the range of the pothole, it is like a small drop of water in the ocean!
The surrounding area can't be seen at a glance. Giant meteorite craters with a diameter of dozens of kilometers are covered with dense and prosperous tall trees. Those trees reach into the sky. The area below is primitive and unfamiliar, giving people a feeling that comes from the soul. Primal panic.
“I saw the introduction of the potholes here before, and it said that the diameter of the uppermost pothole area reaches 60 kilometers.”
Chen Lin glanced at what he could see in the distance. In the dense forest at the end, he also admired the scientific researchers of the association for being able to find a suitable place to build a platform here, and at the same time, they could also make a lifting platform for descending to the bottom of the pit...
< br>"Sixty kilometers!? What a good boy."
Xiao Wu was shocked by this terrifying value. The power armor he wore did not have the ability to detect long distances, so Chen Lin After learning this, they were still shocked. The terrifying ability of meteorites to cause disasters is far beyond human imagination.
"After the impact of the meteorite on the Blue Sea Star, I think some of our scientific researchers speculated that the diameter of the submarine meteorite impact crater formed on the seabed there is at least several thousand kilometers."
Chen Lin's words once again made people think Xiao Wu couldn't help but take a breath, "But I can't say, the situation on the other side of the Desolate Sea is more complicated. Maybe the meteorite didn't hit the bottom after it hit, but was blocked by the sea water in the end. "
Xiao Wu nodded. His attention was on the areas on both sides of the pit at this time. It was unclear what was in the dense forest. He held the electromagnetic weapon tightly in his hand. , the lifting platform will soon reach the first-level pit area, and then they will meet the strange creatures below the pit...
The creatures in the pit and the origin star The other creatures are different, but there is no illustration yet, and they only know a concept.
The lifting platform quickly entered the dense forest. The height of the trees was far higher than the trees on other continents on the Origin Star. Chen Lin looked around the area and noticed the appearance of many strange little creatures.
For example, a blue four-handed monkey, a jumping creature similar to a frog, a little guy like a koala, a special squirrel with extremely fast speed...
All of these creatures rely on trees to survive. , they stared curiously at the huge transparent lifting platform that descended from above, but the eyes of these little guys were more filled with fear - in order to build the load-bearing area under the lifting platform, the Red Dragon Association dispatched engineering machinery and some The aircraft came here and cleared an area.
The trees and vegetation were all burned. The creatures in the area that did not escape were naturally gone. Those who escaped formed a fear of this area. When they see these things again, they will come down. They were all extremely frightened.
The team members quickly assumed a combat posture. As the lifting platform slowly landed on the ground, the guard team quickly entered a combat state. The two people in front stepped out and guarded the two with guns. On the other side, the rear personnel followed closely and quickly followed up towards the area directly ahead... Chen Lin also had a weapon. Because the situation was unclear at this time, he simply took it out from his back. , the standardized electromagnetic rifle is heavy and feels very safe in the hand.
"Which way did the scientific research team go?"
"This way! I saw the marks they left..."
"Silly, these are all clear marks, they We are planning to build a road here, but it looks like it hasn’t started yet.”
Chen Lin noticed that the area just mentioned already had very obvious signs of man-made transformation, and the debris in the center of the road had been removed. It has been cleared to both sides, and both sides are blocked by blocking boards. You can tell at a glance that this is a road.
Xiao Wu smiled. He followed Chen Lin closely. A group of seven people moved forward quickly along the simple road here. They did not encounter any danger on the way. The cries and shrieks of various creatures came and went, making Chen Lin feel as if he had returned to the days when they were pioneering in the Forest of Forgotten.
Bang!
The group of people moved quickly, but the small turret on Chen Lin's shoulder suddenly fired a round at the tree trunk not far away. The firearms in everyone's hands turned their heads almost simultaneously, and they saw the tree trunk. The last "bark"-like thing howled and fell from above.
The height is really not low. When this thing came down, it screamed again and then there was no subsequent sound. Xiao Wu and the soldiers next to him quickly pressed the muzzle of the gun to take a look, and soon dragged it A huge creature with smooth skin that looked like a giant sloth came back.
“Good guy, is this thing so big?”
Chen Lin was slightly surprised when he saw this thing. The big sloth looked almost like an adult. The man was about the same size, with extremely long arms, legs and feet, and sharp claws on his hands and feet. His face was covered in bloodstains, but you could still see that this thing's mouth was full of sharp teeth.
"I don't know if this thing can bite through our power armor."
"Don't bet on this, you might lose your life if it bites through!"
" The heterogeneous steel should not be so fragile..."
"Brother, you are really powerful. This thing should be able to become invisible. When we came here just now, we didn't notice that there was this thing on the tree trunk. Something, but your shoulder cannon attacked directly!"
Xiao Wu couldn't help but praise it. Chen Lin waved his hand and told them to throw this thing to the area outside the road, but he was serious. He scanned the area and confirmed that there was no similar thing here before speaking to Xiao Wu, who had just returned: "Intelligent assistants generally won't be so reckless, unless it is because this thing is very threatening."
"A creature that can turn an intelligent assistant into a turret and fire directly to attack is somewhat threatening."
Chen Lin didn't know how many such creatures there were here. He just urged everyone to hurry up. The most important thing now is to join up with the scientific research teams who set off first.
The previous batch of scientific research teams numbering dozens of people must have teams of power armor warriors as defense forces. It is much safer to gather together.
Originally, Chen Lin just wanted to come down and watch the excitement, but now what happened suddenly turned into him and the security team taking an adventure in a deep pit, which is a bit funny to say the least.
However, the first-level area is not particularly dangerous after all. Although the creatures above belong to another ecological circle, they have not yet broken away from the basic principles of the creatures on the origin planet. Many creatures are from the origin planet. Enhancements and mutations based on star creatures.
For example, the giant sloth that became invisible just now, the tree animals of different colors, etc.
Luckily, Chen Lin and his party finally met the previous scientific research team after walking a few kilometers further.
Their appearance did not surprise the scientific research team in the slightest. After all, the trip of Chen Lin and his party was no secret. Professor Zhang Weicong, the leader of the scientific research team, had long been informed by the association. notification.
The defensive force on the periphery was the first to discover Chen Lin's team. After both parties confirmed their identities, Chen Lin was able to quickly enter the temporary camp.
The temporary camp at this time is actually just two tents and a large number of engineering machinery and equipment. Dozens of people in the scientific research team are each wearing special scientific research armor - a special armor model specially prepared by the association for scientific researchers. , a half-body model, the upper body is a normal human body, with at most the elbows providing some protection and assistance, and the lower body is a full set of power armor.
This design not only ensures that the research capabilities of scientific researchers are not affected, but also ensures that they can move quickly in harsh environments. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Professor Zhang Weicong came over and had a brief meeting with Chen Lin. The two had actually met many times at the outpost, and they were not completely strangers at this time.
"Colonel Chen came here by chance today. Today he can explore with us the edge of the first area of the pit. Then we will confirm the location there and find a suitable place to build the first area. The first area platform is convenient for us to go down from here to the second area below..."
Professor Zhang talked in a circle that made Chen Lin feel dizzy. He waited until he was almost finished before interjecting: " Are we still in the first area? We walked more than ten kilometers from the lifting platform, haven’t we gone out yet?”
“The unmanned detection device we put down before has detected the bottom. ——Maybe it’s the bottom. The depth is about 2,000 meters. In fact, this is a straight line distance. If we go down from these areas to the deepest point, we have to increase this number at least ten times... According to the information from the unmanned detection device. Look, starting from the second floor area, our usual flying devices cannot be used directly.”
Chen Lin raised his eyebrows slightly and heard Professor Zhang explain: "The meteorite deep in this pit may be the core part of a whole meteorite. It is not something like red stone. This thing's influence covers the entire The area around the meteorite impact crater is very likely to be beyond our current understanding.”
“There are not many monsters in the first-level area, and most of them are even directly edible. We have found the most threatening creatures so far. They are just giant spiders, but we haven’t explored too many areas in the jungle yet, so we should be more cautious and reach the edge area as the core of the mission.”
